Abstract: Early Tuesday, Apple announced the Magic Trackpad, the company’s new standalone, Bluetooth trackpad. Using the same glass surface as the trackpad on Apple’s current laptop line, the Magic Trackpad supports the same Multi-Touch gestures, bringing Apple’...
Abstract: There is no clear "winner" between these two multi-touch tablets. The Wacom Bamboo Touch has limited multitouch features, but makes it up with four programmable buttons and its support for more Macs. It's well-suited to power users. The Apple Magic Trackpad has the complete laptop multitouch experience but very limited customizability, and it doesn't work with older Macs -- and it can be even..

While we still prefer using the speedier and more accurate mouse, some will no doubt be interested in the Magic Trackpad. It's not magic — it does no more or less than you'd expect it to. But then, that's not necessarily a bad thing....
