Apple’s Magic Trackpad leaked before WWDC?
A series of images has popped up on Engadget showing an as of yet unannounced Apple trackpad accessory aimed at desktop computers. It may also include handwriting recognition. Though there’s nothing official, it’s seems very likely to be real, as there have been trademark registrations for the name Magic Trackpad. On that note, what is it with Apple’s need to brand everything as magical? It strikes me as an abuse of Clarke’s Third Law, which states “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”
With WWDC just a few hours away, I’m sure the new not so magical trackpad will be announced. However, before springing for a battery powered bluetooth trackpad of any sort, you might want to look at a Wacom tablet instead… If you ask most of us here at rgbFilter, we’d tell you it’s a better buy.
