So earlier today I was thinking about how my glass trackpad on my macbook allows me to do so much more than a mouse and a hell of a lot easier too! So here's my thought:
What if... Apple got rid of the mouse and recreated it as the glass trackpad for desktops? I know some out there (notably Seth W. @ 9to5Mac) have acknowledged the potential of having a multi-touch mouse, but my only concern with that is the idea of a mouse moving while you're trying to do a multi-touch gesture. Imagine trying to rotate a picture or scroll on a page and the mouse starts to slide and you lose control, pretty frustrating right?
Now imagine if they just took the glass trackpad out of the macbook and attached a usb cord or wireless chip to it and suddenly you can do all the multi-touch gestures you can do on your macbook on your desktop mac...
I realize a lot of people are just gonna shoot this down as being stupid or as never going to happen, but if so, explain to me where Apple could take the mouse in a way that would enable multi-touch gestures.
Any thoughts? Mock-ups anyone?
