On Tuesday, Apple announced the first Multi-Touch trackpad to work with your Mac desktop computer. The Magic Trackpad is cheap enough for most Apple customers to consider but expensive enough to make you think twice. It uses the same Multi-Touch technology you love on the MacBook Pro.

Multi-touch Input Device, Apple Magic Trackpad has been accompanied by a price tag of £59. It requires a Bluetooth-enabled Mac, Mac OS X 10.6.4 or later, and a Magic Trackpad software update. It can be purchased as a customize-to-order option together with the default Magic Mouse or purchased separately for existing Mac users. 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’s Multi-Touch technology to any Mac running Mac OS X 10.6.4 or later.

Designed to complement Apple’s Wireless Keyboard, the Magic Trackpad uses the same aluminum-body design, and is almost the exact same height, depth, and inclination, as the Wireless Keyboard. The actual trackpad surface is roughly 5.2 inches wide by 4.3 inches deep; the entire device, including the battery compartment, is 5.2 inches deep. The Magic Trackpad ships with two AA alkaline batteries, although Apple now sells its own Apple Battery Charger, complete with six rechargeable batteries, enough to power a Wireless Keyboard, Magic Trackpad, and Magic Mouse simultaneously. Apple’s Magic Trackpad offers all the functionality of a MacBook click pad in a standalone Bluetooth device

The Apple Magic Trackpad connects to your Mac desktop via Bluetooth, just like the keyboard. You can see that Apple has designed the Trackpad to match the keyboard, and have to say that I like the design a lot. For more details visit the Apple Store.
