Took Apple long enough to freaking ship it, but it got here today, after having ordered it the second I found out about it Tuesday morning. A couple of points.
This thing is useless without the update. Extremely insensitive until you install it, so just do it. Just do it now.
Also, be sure to use BetterTouchTool. I had it for my MacBook Pro, and I intend to do some serious multitouch gesture programming.
Click, being the lower two feet on the bottom of the pad, is not so good. Feels a bit dull for my taste. Will be doing a lot more tapping, except for when I do a click and drag.
Wouldn’t the three finger dragging be much much more useful if you could grab the window anywhere, instead of just the top bar? Yet again, Zooom wins.
I haven’t had a MacBook Pro with the Inertial scrolling update, so I never got to test this extensively, but I love this thing. It’s like having an iOS device again, but without the nice screen underneath. Hmm… I’m sure someone’s gonna hack this one together…
And it sits almost flush with the Apple Wireless Keyboard. The Magic Trackpad is just a hair bit taller so it sticks out on the bottom a bit more.
I can finally ditch the trackball, at least for a while. Using the trackball so much had started to cramp up my thumb in a different angle, so this is a welcomed change.
$75 well spent.
Now if I can somehow reduce the angle on these things… I like the Wired keyboard more for this same reason. Time to drill a hole in the desk?
