Powerful Products! - Magic Trackpad

I've been in St. George, UT for the last three weeks working on Ben Banks, an indie feature being made by some of my close friends. The film is coming along, the crew working ridiculously hard in the plus one-hundred degree temperatures. Meanwhile, I've been tucked into a dark corner of a condo managing the backup, transcode and sync of hundreds of files. Like the mail, it just keeps coming. Sometime last week the repetitive motion started getting to me and by coincidence my mouse, a logitech I purchased three years ago started to go south. Enter Apple's Magic Trackpad. My biggest concern was that it was lacking a few key mouse functions related to Spaces and Expose that I rely heavily on. I had read about JiTouch, a preference pane that adds those features so I grabbed that and started working. The second concern was that the Magic Trackpad wasn't going to be accurate enough to hit all the tiny buttons in Final Cut Pro. That has not been the case for me. I have been using the Magic Trackpad exclusively for the last couple of days and after a slight learning curve it's working great. The best part, my wrist seems to be doing much better. If you have had experience working with the Magic Track Pad let me know what you think @magicalmacs on twitter.
