Why would you willingly use a touchpad on a desktop? (o_0)a

This is not a bad idea. May be nice for users that use laptops on the go and desktops at home. I would prefer a decent keyboard/touchpad combo for media center use.

Wacom also has several touchpad(not sure if they get 4 finger input)/digitizer tablets on the market as well.

Only stupid MAC-users use stupid laptop technology on desktops because they find it pretty and neat and magical.

"...two-finger scrolling, three-finger and four-finger swiping."

My thoughts are so dirty...

This sounds great for the living room though.

Imagine writing the numbers on this to change channels or gesturing to volume up or volume down.

This is honestly a waste for a desktop. You have way more productivity with a mouse than you do a touch pad.

While the macbook touchpads are a joy to use, gestures are excellent, I don't think they would replace a decent mouse.

How is this any easier than using a wireless mouse? Oh, wait, we are paying 50 bucks so we don't need a mouse pad. Clever.

Attach that to a decent wireless keyboard and you got me for real, Logitech. It must have multimedia keys in it! Or even better, make it control remote like.

Oh gawd, the htpc-gasm.

Cheers!

This is a total rip of the Wacom Bamboo Touch that has been out forever!

The multi-touch is nice and great for web and some Adobe apps. It's really poor for gaming, even though it seems like it would be cool. Overall I found it awkward compared to a mouse and much harder to perform precision movements.

... and then Apple sues them...

Touch pads are great if the OS properly supports it but not good for gaming. Apple has had a big multi-gesture touch pad for their PC for at least a year, works freaking great.

funny, i've been able to do this with my iPhone for well over 2 years...and the app was free

Kind of like the Magic Pad or whatever it was called. Still see no point though - a mouse would be a lot more intuitive.

 

[katfishgr]

i'm sure Apple has an iPatent on something pertaining to this...

I'd rather have a wireless keyboard/touchpad combo unit for an HTPC. Typing using the on-screen windows keyboard with a touchpad would be a nightmare.

A good multi-touch pad is great for everything *except* gaming and photoshop

this would enable the Live Tiles desktop on windows 8 to be much more usable for those who want to.
or make browsing lare folders of pictures etc easier, even with the "classic" interface. not a replacement for a mouse, an add-on.
