Hi all,

Just to let folks know, the Magic Trackpad from Apple which lets you
use multi-touch gestures on a desktop Mac works extremely well with
voiceOver: i.e. very responsive.

Just download the Magic Trackpad update via Software update, set it up
via Bluetooth setup, and turn VoiceOver Trackpad commander on the same
way you would if you were using a multi-touch trackpad on a Macbook:
Control+Option+2 finger rotate clockwise.

Sits snuggly next to the Apple Bluetooth keyboard, same depth, and
about the width of a numeric keypad.  The multi-touch trackpad takes
up most of the area, besides the moulded top.

Certainly haven't noticed any lag in response.

$99 from the online Apple Store.

David
