There’s Good news for all the fans of Multi touch screen smartphones that allow you to scroll or zoom by just flicking or pinching your fingertips will now be able to interact and work with their desktops in the same way.

Apple Inc. earlier this week began selling “Magic Trackpad” , its a new wireless device which can be connected using a bluetooth to any mac computer and allows the user to control what’s on their screens through gestures.

Just Like the track pads launched earlier for laptops, the battery-powered gadget can be used in place of a mouse or in conjunction with one. Entire surface of the pad imitates a button so that people can use it exactly as a mouse whenever needed.

Swiping through pages online feels just like flipping through pages in a book or magazine. And inertial scrolling makes moving up and down a page more natural than ever. This new Gagdet is just amazing.

Some details about the device had already been leaked, before its official launch which had been expected since it was mentioned at Apple’s developers’ conference earlier this June.

The Magic Trackpad is made from glass-covered aluminum and is the same angle and height as a Mac desktop keyboard, which it’s designed to sit next to. It comes as a standalone accessory and costs $69.

Apple says the device supports a set of gestures that include two-finger scrolling, pinching to zoom, rotating with your fingertips, three-finger swiping, or switching between applications with four fingers.

You can go from typing to gesturing in one motion, or do both at the same time , This device gives you all the control to your fingers.
Magic Trackpad quickly became a debating topic on Google and Twitter, although not everyone was impressed. First of all, bad name again, Secondly, what’s the big whoop? It’s identical to a MacBook trackpad if I’m not mistaken. Why this hype ??..
