We've been hearing over the past few days that folks have been clamoring for the new Multi-touch trackpad found in the MacBook Air. We've tried it ourselves and found it extremely cool and useful, especially in iPhoto!

It seems that adding Multi touch to current MacBooks and MacBook Pro would be as easy as a software update although none are planned at this time according to an Apple spokesperson. This is interesting especially since the current trackpads can sense 2 touch points.

Whether or not we'll see a "software update" to allow this feature remains to be seen. I personally think we'll see new MacBooks and MacBook Pro's with larger touchpads and features from the Air before we see that update come to any older models though.

And no, I seriously doubt Apple will be using multi-touch ON something like an iMac, and here's why: Try touching your screen for 5 minutes over and over again. You'll be having some serious shoulder issues before you know it!
