The wireless Magic Trackpad is one large glass button, and supports all the same multi-touch gestures as its MacBook counterpart (eg. pinch to zoom, three-finger swiping, etc). The only big difference is its size -- Apple claims that it is nearly 80% larger (by area) than trackpad on a MacBook Pro, though they don't specify how many inches it actually is--nor did Apple specify which MacBook Pro trackpad they're using to make this comparison. We're going to assume the MBP 13".
For what it's worth, the Magic Trackpad is based on the same aluminum design as the Apple Wireless Keyboard, and is even angled to be flush with the keyboard when put side by side. (The Wireless Keyboard is 4.5" tall)
Apple lists the system requirements as a Bluetooth enabled Mac computer (Mac OS X), so we're unsure if this will work on PCs with Bluetooth support. It also runs on two AA batteries, which are included. Apple is also now offering a AA battery wall charger, so there's a chance that the included batteries will be rechargeable. It's range is 33 feet.

The Apple Magic Trackpad is available now at apple stores or online for $69. What are your thoughts on this product? Mac users, are you considering buying one?
