Mac users, for quite sometime, strongly felt multitouch deficient. Apple, today introduced its new Magic Trackpad for iMacs, Mac Minis and Mac Pros that brings multitouch and gestures support for these desktop Macs. You can think of Magic Trackpad as a larger desktop version of touchpads found in MacBook Pros. You can use it for swiping, pinch-to-zoom, two-finger scrolling, finger tip rotation and so on. This entire Trackpad acts as a single button, you can effectively use it as a replacement to your mouse. This is the largest trackpad ever designed till date costing $69. Magic Trackpad connects to your Mac via Bluetooth wireless technology. Use it in place of a mouse or in conjunction with one on any Mac computer — even a notebook. So when someone said that Steve Jobs is ditching Mac, he was totally wrong.  It was Dennis Sellers who sent Steve an email quoting Lyon’s post and asking whether the Mac is still in Apple’s plans and if the Mac has a “long and important history ahead of it”.

Steve Jobs promptly and strongly retaliated to what was said in Newsweek as:

Completely wrong. Just wait

The entire surface of magic Trackpad is one large button, so you can click and double click, anywhere. Magic Trackpad supports a full set of gestures, including two finger scrolling, pinching to zoom, rotation to to finger tips, three fingers swiping, and activating expose’or switching between application with four fingers are really interesting features.    [Via Redmond Pie]
