The new MacBooks: Thanks for the Multi-Touch, why so late?!


The new MacBooks are cool. Faster processors and everything. But the real treasure lies in the Multi-Touch trackpad. Great technology which is going to amazingly imrpove our user experience. I wonder, though, why did Apple decide to add this feature now? I understand their wish to maximize revenue as much as possible, and it's perfectly fine and legit-- but this is getting ridiculous. First the iPhone, then the iPod touch (isn't that same product??) then BIGGER classic iPods, then MacBook Air with MultiTouch support (about a year after that technology was first introduced), and now-- after squeezing the hype's life out-- comes this. A pretty tricky (usually fair) play on the customers.

But... yeah. I'm still gonna get one.
