From: James Dore on 27 Jul 2010 07:32 Did I see, or was it rumour site speculation, that there might be a desktop touchpad in the offing? Any news? Cheers, James -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

Well, the store is down, so probably not long before it is either confirmed or denied as an option/feature with the rumoured new iMac. The rumours on the Magic Trackpad seem pretty solid, down to photos, part numbers, FCC leaks, etc. Only question is when. Apple has not made a mouse I can bear to use since about 1997 (and even then I had a Kensington multi-button mouse in preference to an Apple single button mouse), so I'd be keen to try a trackpad instead (I'm on my fourth Apple laptop and love the multi-touch trackpad on the current MacBook Pro). My desktop Macs use Logitech mice. I own one Apple Pro mouse (2002ish, black/clear) which only gets connected in an emergency, and disrepected while I suffer through its misbehaviour issues. -- David Empson dempson(a)actrix.gen.nz

Ah, that's promising. I will order several if so! > Apple has not made a mouse I can bear to use since about 1997 (and even > then I had a Kensington multi-button mouse in preference to an Apple > single button mouse), so I'd be keen to try a trackpad instead (I'm on > my fourth Apple laptop and love the multi-touch trackpad on the current > MacBook Pro).

I have been a Logitech Trackman Wheel user for about fifteen years. Nothing else is suitable for me, with the exception of the touchpad on the new MacBook Pro.
