back to article Logitech Wireless Touchpad

Most Wintel laptops now support a limited range of multi-touch gestures on their trackpads, such as the two-finger swipe to scroll up or down through long documents and web pages.

    Logitech - why U no use Bluetooth!?

    Once again: make me have a dongle hanging off my computer rather than the built-in hardware. Don't let me use this on my phone, or my N800, or my various tablets which don't have USB host. Thanks, Logitech.

    Middle Click

    ARRGH! Why don't people understand the wheel is a button too. I want a device like this that does middle clicks when tapped with multiple fingers.
