Look, I love Apple. It is true. Just as the cartoon of my enthusiasm in my logo depicts, I really do use (and love I might add) a Macbook Pro, but this made me laugh out loud. Really Apple? Really?

Not that a trackpad is not a good replacement for a mouse when you are using a laptop, but the idea that when given the choice, customers would use a trackpad over a mouse is beyond me. I would rather have a trackBALL than a trackpad when doing many of the tasks I use a computer for. Gaming, developing, photo or video editing. The mouse is vastly superior to my Macbook's trackpad, which is the reason why I always carry a mouse with me.

One of the few selling points is finger navigation motions you can make that mimic those on the Macbook pro. But Apple already has another product that can do the same thing. And this one is an actual mouse!

Don't get me wrong. I think Apple makes some great products, but this one is a step in the opposite direction.
