Brando's Schizo Touch-num-pad Does Multi-touch

If you are aching to get your fingers on a multi-touch system, Brando is ready to help. The USB Multi-Touch Smart Pad is a dual function touch pad. The system functions as a normal 10 key pad, allowing you to do all of you adding machine chores with ease. With the touch of a button, you can switch from number-pad mode to touch-pad mode. The touch-pad functions just as a normal laptop touch-pad would. All the functions like 'tap to click' should operate as normal, and 2 standard buttons are included just to make you feel at home.

Besides having split personalities, Brando's new trinket adds multi-touch capabilities. The diminutive pad adds the soon to be standard 2 and 3 finger controls. 2 finger gestures tend to control zoom functions while the 3 finger controls are for paging. Nary a mouse is manufactured these days without a scroll wheel, so you can bet they're headed for the same level of adaptation on other input devices. Brando's offering comes in a touch lower than other multi-touch pads we've seen. It's listed at $40 and is available for order now.
