Is there 3- and 4-finger swipes/gestures?

Seems like it could be useful on that big touch surface.

Nope, no gestures other then pinch to zoom, pan, scroll. Such a big missed opportunity. Why not even a swipe to back when on a webpage!

lol that is strange. I always thought 2, 3 and 4 finger gestures was the standout feature on my macbook

Maybe they are saving 4 finger swipe for the multitasking to come later

I'm missing not having the swipe features on this also. I guess we'll have to live with it for awhile.

Funny that you guys should mention the multi finger gestures. Just out of habbit with my MacBook pro I made attempts at using multi finger swipes for moving forward and backwards on web pages, but obviously nothing happened. It would definitely be nice if they were to add this feature later.

It's not just me then - thought maybe I was losing it. (But I also absent-mindedly try gestures on my crappy mouse on my Dell at work, too. Hard to break a handy habit.) I kept looking at webpages and trying to swipe back to no avail. It's a little odd that they've implemented at least the finger-swipe back gesture in iBooks but not anywhere else. It would obviously have to be different in other apps, since one finger would move things, but I think most people would get it. I hope it is being added in 4.0 - maybe it's not in 3.2 just to make iBooks stand out in particular and show what gestures really can do.
