What bothers me is the inability to buy a USB multitouch trackpad. I've only seen one model for sale, only in Japan, and lacking Mac drivers.

- TimothyFitz 17y agoApple is personally responsible, they bought out the company that created the original (or at least first commercially succesful one) http://www.fingerworks.com/ST_product.html http://www.fingerworks.com/ST_product.html You can pick them up on ebay but they're now quite old and extremely expensive.
- bd 17y agoWell, it's even worse than that. Many modern touchpads support multitouch in hardware but it's disabled in drivers [1]. I believe it has something to do with Apple sitting on multitouch patents. Even Android phones were supposed not to have multitouch because of Apple. ----- [1] For example Synaptics ones in Thinkpads. You can get multitouch using modded drivers.
