Apple Debuts Desktop Trackpad, Rechargeable AA
Do you want to use a trackpad on your desktop?
You would think that one of the luxuries of using a desktop over a laptop was that you could use a mouse rather than a trackpad, but Apple doesn't see it that way.
Today Apple unveiled the "Magic Trackpad," which is essentially desktop version of the multitouch trackpad found on all of the company's current MacBook and MacBook Pro laptops, but with 80 percent more real estate.
For those with very limited space on their desks (as in, not even enough room for a mousepad), this could be a good solution. It even supports more multitouch gestures than the Magic Mouse.
The Magic Trackpad sells for $69, same as the Magic Mouse and Bluetooth keyboard. It'll work on Windows too with the right drivers.
Interestingly enough, Apple's figured out that users of its Bluetooth keyboard, Magic Mouse and now the Magic Trackpad go through a lot of AA batteries. The company is now offering its own rechargeable batteries with a low-discharge, much like Sanyo's Eneloops.
The battery charger boasts a very low standby power draw, so that's a selling feature for those who just like to leave their chargers plugged in all the time.
The charger along with 6 batteries is $29.

Why...........
so instead of adding 1 little button on the mouse for your thumb.....they made a huge thing like that....?
Many years ago Apple bought a company called Fingerworks. They had some fantastic touch keyboards and pads. So this is all old old stuff.
I don't know why they do not rebadge and relaunch these?

I want a fingerworks style keyboard!
I'm not an apple fan so i would never buy one ...bit i do like the style of the KB and trackpad ...The mouse looks a bit useless (compared to my logitech mx darkfield) but i at least admire the asthetics.
Why indeed.. The only time I enjoy using a track pad is lazing around on the sofa whilst watching some tv and browsing on the lappy, things take 20-40% longer with them in my experience..
At least batteries are included. Bets that they aren't rechargable though?
"For those with very limited space on their desks" .. Should not consider one of these things. Correct!
They are rechargable. Teach me to skip the last sentance
