Questions & Answers for Magic Trackpad

It is almost exactly the same size as a CD-ROM envelope. If you have an Apple Wireless Keyboard, it is the same height.

Nope, you turn it on and your iMac should connect with it automatically.

Unfortunately no. iPad doesn't support Magic Trackpads. The only thing you can use with your iPad is a wireless keyboard (with Bluetooth). Using a trackpad with the iPad will not be as comfortable as you think. You cannot tap apps or anywhere on the screen with a trackpad because you won't know where you are tapping on the iPad.

The two requirements would be:
-your Linux workstation has Bluetooth and Bluetooth driver sw (easy requirement)
-Apple (or a Linux developer) writes a Linux driver for the Magic Trackpad (much tougher requirement)

In what respect ?

Apple Magic Trackpad offers all of the funtionality of the trackpad on the MacBook line but with an 80% greater playing field.

I guess if you have used iMovie on a MacBook then you would be right at ease with this and say an iMac !

Remember that it is a trackpad at present - not a graphics tablet !

Hope this helps.

No read the system requirements needs to be a mac running Mac OS X 10.6.4 with Bluetooth. The Apple TV does not have bluetooth capabilities.

As an owner of both the Magic Mouse, and now the Magic Trackpad, I can say that the trackpad is WAY better when it comes to battery life. The reason being: it has the same feature on it as the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard, where as it goes to "sleep mode" when not in use. For example, I've had my keyboard and magic mouse the same amount of time, accidentally leaving both on overnight several times, and my keyboard is still at 100% battery life, whereas my mouse is now at 40%. I've had them both for about 2.5 months. I'm absolutely in love with the new Trackpad now because of it's increased amount of capabilities vs the mouse, and it's ability to conserve battery when I accidentally leave it on. The mouse should have been able to do that as well. Anyway, I hope this answers your question.

I do not know how well it works with Photoshop, but I imagine it works very well. I have my Magic Trackpad set up with dual screens and it works great, just as well as any other mouse. I really like the Magic Trackpad, and I previously owned the Mighty Mouse and the Magic Mouse. Out of the three the Magic Trackpad is the best by far and I really recommend getting it.

The Trackpad has a sleep feature built in to conserve battery life. If you are not going to use it for an extended period of time then turn it off.
