I think that is hardware. Not software.
jiTouch has application specific shortcuts. I love it, and it's worth the money.
Works.
Wtf is wrong with you?
I'm slightly confused! Has anyone got this working on a poly MB?
I have the last poly (mid-2009) before the white unibody came out in October. That was when the alu MB became the MBP. So the only MB in mid-2009 was the white poly.
I never expected Apple to update the trackpad for us people who dare to own a one-year old base-model Apple product. But that is what the document says! Anyone got it working, or is it just a mistake?

I have an Early '08 MBP, running the latest Snow Leopard, but software update isn't finding any trackpad updates 
EDIT: Never mind, I saw the actual download link at apple, at: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1066

This is also the reason why my update doesn't show it. Okay time to put the snow Leopard disk in. I have been so happy with Leopard that I forgot it wasn't the latest operating system around. I didn't want to install it at first out of fear things would break. I guess it should have had plenty of time to work out the bugs and apps to be updated.
Silly me.
Loving the inertial scrolling update, but don't think I'll ever use 3 finger dragging. I use 3 finger navigate far too much.
Interesting that they are supporting units from more than two years back!
Talk about enhanced functionality when one is looking for a new machine to buy!
I need to look for my macbook pro hiding somewhere under the bed and update it to check. Blame it on the iPad that the notebook wend hiding.

I had the same problem: after installing the update, my SmartScroll started acting weird - specially while coasting, it wouldn't stop with one tap as usual...
I fixed it by downloading SmartScroll again and reinstalling it - after restarting, this seems to overwrite / override the update drivers and bring SmartScroll back to normal.
Hope this helps,
Agreed, inertia will take a bit of getting used to though, with small scrolls i seem to be overshooting a little.
Thought it might fix my drag lock problem too but no luck, it stays locked most of the time even when the option isnt ticked.
same here. i guess the update it's not meant to support the MB early and min 2009. but why those MB's were mentioned in the official magic trackpad update page???
I am pretty sure its not. You can look around at similar windows notebooks which used the 9400m and had hdmi ports with audio and video.
Its too bad the new cinema display does not have speakers cause then apple would have needed to do a software update to fix the no audio over mini displayport too.
I always click the trackpad. Tap to click is too inconsistent and sensitive for me.
Update has disabled Logitech MX Mouse actions
It seems the update has modified the actions for my Logitech MX Performance mouse. Specifically, it has disabled vertical scrolling with the wheel. In the Logitech menu in Settings, the "Vertical Scrolling" option is also grayed out and I can't reset or recover it.
This happened after I installed the update and presuming it's related :/ Any suggestions?

Like the 24" display, the new 27" display does indeed have integrated audio. From the Apple site...
"The LED Cinema Display gives you more than video it gives you audio, too. The built-in 49-watt speaker system includes an integrated subwoofer that delivers immersive, full-range sound for music, movies, and games."
I don't know if anybody noticed this: When set to moving the window, the three-finger gesture also works as select and drag. Now that's what I call a bug which isn't one but actually is a feature! Plus: It has inertia. Really useful for coding.
Edit: Just realized that this is the actual feature. I thought it was just for window dragging. Duh.
