trackpad accessibility is basically the emulation of most functions of the 
iphone / iPad touch screen interface in terms of functional gestures. needless 
to say it's a great system which apple have pioneered with the first versions 
of the macbook air and the newer versions of the macbook pro, etc. now it's 
common place. other manufacturers like sony, HP and toshiba have taken on this 
interface technology to the windows user interface, however from a blind user 
aspect, it dos not work with windows based screen readers correctly, if at all.

this is where we mac users have the upper hand.

I LOVE IT!
