  • The Pad is useful, pretty and practical, but for how long? It replaces the mouse nicely for many usages, but as soon as touch screens come on stream, you'll be putting it away in a drawer never to be seen again. Your mouse will still be useful....

  • Abstract:  Undoubtedly better than a laptop touchpad, but does anyone need it? And, at this price? We've all had moments where we've wished our laptop touchpad was a bit more spacious, but this is taking it to extremes. After the Magic Mouse, which awkwardly adde...
