How To Use Your iPad, iPhone Or iPod touch As A Trackpad With Your Mac or PC
Apple introduced a new user interface concept back in 2007 when the launched the original iPhone –multitouch– which has become the basic need for every notebook, mobile device or tablet. Multitouch trackpads were later introduced in Macs which took the game to a whole new level, they worked on the same technology which was used in iPhone so a lot of people already knew how to use them on the their Macs. In Apple’s two latest operating systems– Mac OS X Lion and OS X Mountain Lion– Apple has welded more gestures. Apple’s competitors in ultrabook category are also offering trackpads and multitouch gesture but they’re no way near Apple’s multitouch technology.
There are plenty of options available when it comes to selecting a trackpad for your Mac or PC. Apple also offers Magic mouse which is capable of performing multitouch gestures and Magic trackpad does the job as well. But we can now use our iPad, iPhone and iPod touch as trackpad for our Macs and PCs.
