Apple's New Magic Trackpad

ByMike Moffit

When Apple first introduced the current generation of Multi-Touch trackpads on their MacBook and MacBook Pros, it was pretty amazing. Two finger scrolling is really just the tip of the iceberg for gesture controls. For the first time, I actually preferred the pad to my mouse. Now, I can have that same gesture interface on my iMac.

Apple’s new Magic Trackpad brings all the same fluid controls that make the MacBook so, well, magical.

Supporting one, two, three, and four finger gestures you can zoom, scroll, and use great Snow Leopard features like Exposé almost effortlessly. Also, paired with a Bluetooth keyboard, its wireless design will easily give you the slickest looking desktop around.

  • Local Spotlight: iPad Paintings by Corliss Blakely


    Corliss Blakely, a life-long Vermont artist, is now painting on the iPhone and iPad, which has “opened up a new world for artists,” as she puts it. Corliss has translated her realistic style in oils to the new technologies, stating, “the world is changing and artists now have a wonderful new canvas to create on.” Corliss purchased an iPad at Small Dog the day they came out, and was the first artist in the world to display an iPad painting on the internet!

    The iPad is a mobile studio: artists can now create without the toxic paints and mediums they have used for centuries.

    Her favorite painting app on the iPad is ArtStudio.

    Visit her site at www.ipadpaintings.com to see her paintings and demonstrations.
