No three or four finger gestures, no pinch to zoom, either.
You get the single finger gestures and two finger scroll. That's it.

From what I remember, technically the trackpad does support multi-touch (it can see up to 9 or 11 contact points), but it hasn't been enabled by Apple.
Somebody's got a blog going where he's been trying to modify the .kext file that acts as the trackpad driver to accept multi-touch, but hasn't been able to get it working full out in OS X.

I suppose it's a bit much to ask from a large company like Apple. Wouldn't want anything that could hold back a user from upgrading now, would we . Makes perfect business sense. I think.

How do you know? 'Cause my Dad has an older Macbook Pro which already has the 3 and 4 finger gestures from before the Unibodies... And since the new Whitebooks also have multi-touch trackpads (at least that's how it would appear, since it recognizes when there's just one finger, two, or more), this should apply really.
he got it from changing the kext file and according to apple the whitebook does not have a multi touch track pad even tho it cant recognize up to 11 fingers
KatKing is right. It was on engadget or TUAW that they are specifically referencing the 1st gen MacBook Air with that comment.

I think that Apple is phasing out the white MacBook. They put the prices so close between the White MacBook and 13" MBP people just say just get the MBP.
we have MBW at school and in PSE i can "2 finger rotate" and "pinch to zoom"
Which model do you have? The latest?

I think lots of people here would love it if you were to explain a little more in depth...

I think the reason this thread has not been jumped upon already is that everyone has dismissed this as... impossible.
