One of the new device introduced  by Apple is Magic Trackpad. Yes, it is trackpad for iMac, a similar multitouch trackpad found on Macbooks Pro. I know that you’ll puzzled how in the earth that Apple will come out with this device, when there is already device called… mouse. I’m not Mac users (although I do own iPod and iPhone) but I do to know there is Magic Mouse, mouse with multitouch capability, am I right? So how Apple is going to position Magic Trackpad on their product line along with Magic mouse? Or either one must die?

With beautifully designed apps and devices Apple had in their store, it is now wonder that Apple has gained huge followers over the time. A loyal and hard core followers… Apple is cult and Steve Jobs is the cult leader.. haha, just kidding. The fact is, you know how Apple has won the heart of it’s customer, and you can guess that, these people will no hesitation to spend few hundred buck to try this ‘magical’ device out. Did you?

iMac sales is phenomenal since the last few years. The price has gone down significantly on this part of this world, thanks to better currency conversion. It is no longer expensive stuff unlike 2-3 years ago whereby it is now more affordable to students and professional, plus the cool factor it had. These millions users as observed by Apple (my theory), probably bored with Magic Mouse, they want something more magical stuff. Something similar to Macbook Pro’s trackpad, and so born this device as what can you see today.

A picture is worth a thousand words, but Apple can turn this around. To perfectly fit the Magic Trackpad’s magical touch, the beautifully worded sentence is required as well, so here is what Magic Trackpad could do.

“Every iMac comes with Apple’s innovative Magic Mouse and customers can also order the new Magic Trackpad as an option. The Magic Trackpad brings the intuitive Multi-Touch gestures of Mac notebook trackpads to the desktop. With its glass surface, the wireless Magic Trackpad enables users to scroll smoothly up and down a page with inertial scrolling, pinch to zoom in and out, rotate an image with their fingertips and swipe three fingers to flip through a collection of web pages or photos. The Magic Trackpad can be configured to support single button or two button commands and supports tap-to-click as well as a physical click.”

So here is what I thought, and this is purely my opinion. Magic Trackpad is just beautiful accessory, not necessity for iMac, but you never now until you start using it. Remember iPhone..
