are you just thinking that you would like the zoom feature on the trackpads? that might be cool...
but yea if apple sold a standalone track pad, that would be cool. i have always felt their trackpads were better than anyone elses. the response is just terrific.
Thanks for trying to get the thread back on topic, but it seems my idea sucks.
Seriously though, I was thinking about what the multi-touch interface is capable of - the things we haven't seen yet, that may not have even been thought of yet.
Design requirement, 16:9 ratio pad, at least 6 inches wide
What if:
You could set OS X do see each finger as a separate cursor?
-You could move multiple windows at the same time
-Work 5 sliders, knobs, etc. in a sound mixer program at the same time
-digital finger painting
Other possible features
-the option of setting "hot regions" for, say, scrolling windows by running your finger up or down the right side of the pad (not sure if mac books do this already), or running your finger across the bottom of the pad to scan through the dock, or controlling volume, controlling exposé, etc...
-play keyboard notes or strum a guitar - maybe using more than one pad at a time?
This is just off the top of my head, and what I was excited about. I can only hope Apple's already thought of this and is working on it.
Then again, maybe the other poster's are right and I should just let this thread turn into "Mighty Mouse cleaning tips".....
