I was waiting for you to comment on this! Admittedly when you mentioned it a while back I didn't see the appeal, but now the thought of having one is creeping in. It doesn't cost much more than a higher-end mouse ($70) and the functionality of the Macbook trackpad is exceptional. I love the three finger swipe to go to the top of a page (makes navigating CP much better). My issue with trackpads is generally that I run out of room ... this would probably fix that.

I really like the idea of using it in conjunction with a mouse for more heavy-duty tasks. It would be great to use in a program like Aperture or Lightroom to have your brush controlled by the mouse but be able to zoom and swipe around with the trackpad. Not sure if that could happen, but a man can dream.
