I've been waiting for developers to start implementing for software for the trackpad. They are really pushing the boundaries. I hope they decide to release it in a full application.
Got a tip for us?

Hey what a useless app!!!!
I love it perfect for when I'm studying XD
Btw anybody tried to get 11circles with their two hands on the trackpad?
Seems like impossible to me, I would like to get a manual for that!
But I think it would be a great way of gaming, even this skateboard game looks really well. Even if it does like a lot like gaming on a iPhone or iPod Touch I think it still would be a new experience of gaming!
Very interesting. And the magic mouse could benifit hugely from this. A Slate for a keyboard is where it's at in the future.
All this touch Tech is getting old ....real fast, I dislike the new track-pad on the new Mac-books, I prefer a REAL button, separate from all the friggin movement
You're just telling us you don't actually own a UMBP, because any UMBP owner knows that the button on the track pad is sensitive at the bottom portion, and feels just as natural to click that as any other button.
Tired of touch sensative tech?
Here's a pen and paper, now leave us alone.
Touch is currently the simplest way to interact with technology (until we can control a computer with brainwaves). And I'm sorry to say, but I and many companies see touch staying for a very long time.
May I suggest a Dell, they have a nice lineup with two big buttons separate from the track pad.
I love the trackpad, in many cases it's even easier and simpler to use than the a mouse (especially the mighty one of apple, everybody have to admit that that one sucks!).
The trackpad is just so intuitive, it feels like a trackpad should have always functioned. (Euhm I do sound a little like Jony Ive there...)
I think that the thing that I really like about the trackpad is that it is touch sensitive, but that you still have to click, with other trackpads I always change everything because the PC still thanks that I'm clicking.When using a Dell,HP,Sony,...laptop, it really is handy to have a small usb mouse. With a MB you don't have that problem!

Horrible. Mouse and gamepad much better. You will have so many issues with your hands. Welcome arthritis !!!
I agree, touch tech is getting old. Gaming is horrible with it and I don't want my fingers in the way of my screen anymore.
Every single time somebody says anything even remotely negative about how they View Mac in any way,......an opinion even a little different,..you get the snotty attitude
Ha Ha, you boys sure are Superfans Good for you, now go stroke your toy computer and leave the thinking to us Dell owners LOL

Okay, the last part of my comment may have been "snotty" but regardless of that and how much I like and hate Apple products, I was only pointing out that touch is not going away for any company, not Dell, HP, MS, and especially not for Apple.

Every game that attracts the buyers with technology, is a waste of money. I'd better spend those coupla of dollas on StarCraft 2 or Mafia 2.
I have that thing on iPod. This is one use app. You play it once and then never again.
My opinion, and should be yours. Pls, invest your money in what is worth it!

What do you mean by simple?
Keyboard and mouse combo is faster, easier, simpler, and they dont leave potato chips fat smeared over a screen (iPhone). I'd say NO to touch screens.
Uhmm. Except that many paradigms still require a keyboard and a mouse. Good luck typing a long article on a iPhone-like keyboard. Give me a touch solution with touch feedback and we are talking.
I'm surprised we haven't seen iPhone app becoming compatible with Dashboard, or Dashboard compatible with iPhone apps???
