Apple releases Magic Trackpad: Twitter gasps!

Apple has released its new Magic Trackpad for desktop computers. This device is just like the Trackpad on the MacBook Pro, only bigger:

Magic Trackpad is just like the trackpad on the MacBook Pro — but bigger. It’s made with the same advanced touch-friendly and wear-resistant glass surface. But with nearly 80 percent more area, it’s the largest Multi-Touch trackpad made by Apple. So there’s even more room for you to scroll, swipe, pinch, and rotate to your fingers’ content. And since the entire surface is a button that clicks, you can use it in place of a mouse.

Despite the fact Apple has once again released an old piece of technology and called it "new", folks on Twitter just can't shut up about how great it is:

@MichaelPizzolla On a quest today for the just released Magic Trackpad.

@grolby If I can plug the Magic Trackpad into my MBP and get inertial scrolling, you'd think they could update my firmware for the built-in one.

@michaelzhou new iMacs and Magic TrackPad: daddy likes

@hellosmalldog Sign of the times: Apple.com still features major iPhone splash while new iMacs, Mac Pro, Apple Display, and Magic Trackpad are footnotes!

@PolarLava RT @bikehugger: is there a special way to hold the magic trackpad? want to know that before purchase this time.

@jasonmklug Apple has a genius pricing strategy: Magic Trackpad for $69, opt. battery charger for $29, which completes a $100 "chunk" = no extra guilt.
