New PowerBook

Interesting. The new PowerBook has something most PC laptops have for years: a multi-function trackpad.

I've always been surprised that the Mac didn't have one of these. My Viao has scrolling built in to the right side of its trackpad and I use it all the time, almost instinctively.

And in typical Apple style, they had to implement it differently. You use two fingers on the trackpad to make gestures instead of moving a single finger in specified parts of the pad. I'd have to try it out to see if that's better or worse than the more typical style.
