Diatec's $50 USB Multi-touch Pad for PC

Just because you don't own any of the Apple iPhone, iPod touch or MacBooks doesn't mean you have to miss out all the fun that multi-touch offers. The Diatec SmartTrack Neo USB trackpad straight from Japan can now add this functionality to a desktop PC, and it might arrive just in time for testing on Windows 7 - the first MS' OS with integrated multi-touch tricks.

The mini-pad measures at 3" by 1.8", comes with 2 buttons, and supports pretty much the same gesture controls (e.g. pinch, swipe, two-finger rotation) heavily advertised by Apple. The multi-touch USB pad is also meant to be used with both hands. We also need to remind you this is purely for PC, specifically Windows. So, if you have a PowerMac or Mac Pro, you may need to wait for Apple to release something similar or until someone convinces Diatec Mac support for the pad could be wholeheartedly welcomed by owners of pre-2007 Macs.
