1207236 2011-06-07 04:00:00 There is a driver for the magic mouse and the magic trackpad (both are apple), which someone managed to make drivers for. So, both will work in Windows Speedy Gonzales (78)
1207237 2011-06-07 04:27:00 Call me bias, but the only touch pads I've found that are useable daily are Apple ones.

I tried to use one of those in Dick Smith once.. couldn't figure out why tapping the touchpad didn't click the mouse... THEN I discovered you had to press the left side of the actual pad down because the pad IS the button.

Didn't want to stick around trying to figure out how anyone was supposed to click and drag with that....

While Apple try to be fancy, they impair ease of use :lol:

Never used a Blackberry of any sort in my life. Think I saw one once, thought it looked like a very wide cellphone with a tiny qwerty keyboard.

The storm was RIM's (failed) attempt at creating a touchscreen phone. Basically it was a buggy piece of **** with an un-user friendly touchscreen.

Umm no, I think you will find they are very focused on ease of use .

Tap to click would have been turned off is all .

And the only laptop manufacturer to have it switched off by default :rolleyes:

1207244 2011-06-07 08:23:00 IME it's turned off by default on quite a few laptops. Alex B (15479)
