Jeffroo Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 With the new Macbook Air that was released today, Apple showed gestures you can do on the trackpad to manipulate the screen. Once someone gets their hands on one, would it be possible for one to create some software making this possible on older Macbooks and the like?

Urbz Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Considering that on all Mac laptops going back to the iBooks/Powerbooks (not sure which ones...) the trackpads have had multi-touch technology, yes. Are you familiar with the two-finger scroll, or the two-finger tap resulting in a right mouse click? That's all multi-touch.

That's all multi-touch. Yes, that's the reason I asked. Back when I had an iBook, and they came out with the Powerbooks with two-finger scrolling someone released an app so I could do it on my iBook. Hopefully it'll be here soon! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/81810-finger-motions/#findComment-587974 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSn1™ Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Well, in fact, we got some similar technologies like 2 finger scrolling and so, but I really don't think MacBooks will get this. Maybe MacBook Pro. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/81810-finger-motions/#findComment-596007 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJChee Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 The MacBooks have as much a chance of getting this as the MacBook Pros.. Same trackpad. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/81810-finger-motions/#findComment-604056 Share on other sites More sharing options...
