Well, it's one way of avoiding all the multi-finger keystrokes.  I like the 
idea personally, but in my experience the trackpad commander on a macbook 
doesn't work nearly as well as the IOS touchscreen interface unless I'm trying 
to type and accidentally hit it with my palm.  Then it works wonders taking me 
all kinds of places I never meant to go.

You'll get a lot of feedback from people who find it really useful, but I think 
it's kind'a gimicky .

Best,

Erik Burggraaf
