If it only works as well as the trackpad on the current MacBook/Pro line, it
will be more than just good enough. (One is going to be replacing the trackball
that my wife has been using on her computers for the better part of the past
decade.)

And in this case, if you don't want one, you don't have to get one.

I'll wait to see what you think of it. Unfortunately, the nearest Apple
Store is a 2 hour drive and while BestBuy here does do Apple, they don't
have the Magic Trackpad yet. And then there's the fact that I'm
currently pissed at BB to take into account... :)

Ditto. I already have three of them (one at home, one in each office),
but since I have two computers at home I could use another.
