Apple has updated their Apple Stores today by presenting two brand new products and a few updates to existing products:
1) Magic Trackpad
The most exciting new product, without doubt. This takes your laptop trackpad, blows it up bigger and separates it from the computer. It’s like a mouse pad – but without the mouse. Apple says the Magic Trackpad is more gentle for your hand rather than using a mouse. I guess we’ll have to see about that – I’ll try to get my hands on one of them. It sells for $69 in the US Apple Stores.
2) Apple Battery Charger
For some reason, Apple felt that they needed to make a battery charger. Hey, it looks a lot better than the chargers I currently own. It only takes two AA batteries at a time though. It sells for $29 and comes with six AA batteries, two for your keyboard, two for your mouse or your trackpad and two for charging. The batteries have up to a year 10-year lifespan and hold a charge for an incredibly long time – they say.

Finally! Apple gives me the opportunity to spend $30 on a BATTERY CHARGER. Although, I’m sure it will charge batteries in the most elegant, cutting edge way.
That is, of course, until the rev the hardware
On the trackpad – when I first started using the new unibody MacBook Pro I immediately saw a use for a desktop trackpad. There’s just something seamless and wonderful about using hand gestures to manipulate web pages (which is almost certainly a contributing factor to the iPad’s success.)
Sure the trackpad is somewhat limiting when it somes to design or fine point-and-click work, but for everyday browsing I could really get behind it.
any idea about when it is coming to India [magic pad] ???
