Absolutely - I know there are Trackpad fans but I tend to find myself tapping away with three fingers to no affect in an increasingly Basil Fawlty like frenzied attempt to get Voiceover unmuted. Now I have my key set up in keyboard Commander, there is no problem.
I wonder if there is a difference in responsiveness between the integrated trackpad of the Macs - I phone and the standalone Bluetooth Trackpad for the Imac? I mentioned this on another list when I first bought my I Mac last year and it bought an interesting response. Another person said that he also found the magic Trackpad over sensitive and difficult to use, but he said that the Touch interface on the I Phone was vastly superior. In fact this person said that he wanted Apple to amend its magic trackpad so that it responds more like the touch Screen of the I Phone. This difficulty with the magic Trackpad has, for me, been the major disencouragement from getting an I phone. it would be useful then if anybody else could confirm that the Magic Trackpad is inferior to the touch screen of the I Phone .
