Apple introduces the Magic Trackpad

Anyone try one with a conductive stylus?

Too much analysis by those who have never used it! I picked mine up yesterday and it's great! Very much like the track pad on my MBP....gestures work great. For those who have concluded that the mouse is better...try it first before getting into a mechanical debate about it! Yes, there are some things that will require me to use my mouse, but for the most part, the mouse will be quite dormant. With regard to selecting text, you don't need a huge area to select a great deal of text with the pad...it's very easy to select text that goes beyond what you see on the screen...

Drop the price 20 bucks and I'd buy it. Don't know where I'd put it though, because I still think I'd use a mouse more often. This would be most used as a remote when I'm using my computer but not at my desk (movies etc.)

This thing is almost as big as the old iGesture from FingerWorks. Put two of these on a frame, with a beefed-up BetterTouchTool and maybe we can get to the point of recreating the legendary TouchStream - now with 100% more tactile click!. That'd be awesome.

I stopped by the 5th Ave store on the way home from work and picked up a trackpad. I just installed it. For some reason, when I did a Software Update, my iMac told me I didn't have any new updates, but "Trackpad" did not show up in my System Preferences. So I just manually downloaded the file (thanks TUAW for the link!) and everything was great. I've been using it for about five minutes, and I can tell that the Magic Trackpad will completely replace my Magic Mouse. (I guess my mom will inherit another piece of tech from me.) The interface of the trackpad feels quite a bit more intuitive than the mouse. So far so good!

Ordered! I think this will make for some interesting, and powerful, workflows.

I figured the Magic Mouse was just an interim step. And I think the Magic Trackpad is another step toward a unified virtual keyboard + trackpad. No more physical keys, AMOLED qwerty display that can switch back and forth between keyboard and trackpad mode when it senses typing or swiping. And I think the MacBook Air will get it first, because it'll be really thin. (No physical keys, no LED backlight hardware, etc.)

Crappy laptop trackpad, crappy magic mouse, now another crappy peripheral. I love my Macs (have three), but I hate these input devices, because they don't improve on anything.

Can you use this like the trackpads on the notebooks? It's nice that I can get gestures and all, but can this replace my need for a mouse entirely?

Or you know, they could have just added it to the existing BT keyboard. They could have done that a long time ago. It would have been magical.
