Apple has a new trackpad in the works that could bring multitouch gestures to its desktop computers. The device, which looks like a bigger version of the MacBook pad has just been approved by the Federal Communications Commission.
Remember Firefox’s experiments with gestures through Apple’s new multi-touch trackpads? We warned back in October that they might not make the cut for the next version of the browser, but it seems they’re hanging in there, making it into Firefox’s latest Beta.

Apple’s MacBook laptops have been long overdue for a refresh, and now the latest rumours suggest they’ll get a radical new design, complete with slinky aluminium shells and glass trackpads.
