Apple Magic Trackpad is official

In a rather quiet manner this morning, Apple has launched one of (I think) their neatest little products yet: the new Magic Trackpad. Selling for $69.00, this is basically the trackpad you’d find in any MacBook Pro removed from the enclosure and made a standalone peripheral. Rumors of the Magic Trackpad were floating around a while back, but had fallen silent until now. Regardless, I’m quite glad Apple has created such a product, as the trackpad on my MacBook Pro is far better than any mouse I’ve ever used.

You can buy the Magic Trackpad from the Apple online store. As of now, it runs on two double A batteries and it only appears as if this device will work on Mac OS X running version 10.6.4 or later. I’d love to see this device rolled out to Windows machines, as well, as I think it could be a great step for people into buying an entire Apple laptop.
