Today Apple’s site was down for a while, and now we know why – the release of the Magic Trackpad. For $69, this nifty gadget is the first Multi-Touch trackpad designed to work with Mac desktop computers. So, finally all of us MacBook users can have the same feel with the desktop. Simple. Magic Trackpad acts as a replacement mouse or can be used with one on a Mac pc, connecting to the computer via Bluetooth, this means you can use it up to 33 feet away from your machine. Not only this, but the Magic Trackpad is made in the same lightweight material as the touchpad on the Macbook and sits by its side at the same height and angle. It enables you to use all the multi-touch gestures you would use with the MacBook. As well as this, it’s pretty environmentally friendly, as the trackpad runs on two AA batteries and works for “months” at a time as it senses periods of inactivity and powers down. Apple have been busy haven’t they!
