Four finger multi-touch gestures on older Macs

MacRumors posted yesterday that someone has been able to hack their January 2008 MacBook Air to support four finger gestures, including Expose, and Application Changer entirely through software. The user posted to the MacRumors Forums saying how the hack was done. I cannot personally confirm the validity of this hack, but if it is true, I find it to be very interesting that this could be changed entirely with software. This could allow Apple to enable it in Mac OS X v10.5.6 on all MacBook Airs and MacBook Pros supporting MultiTouch gestures.

Apple first introduced Multi-Touch gestures on the MacBook Air announced at MacWorld, in January this year. The gestures included with the original MacBook are were all either one finger, two finger or three finger gestures. Apple released the new MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air on October 14th, all of which support the new four finger gestures.
