macrumors.com — But one feature unique to the Mac build is support for Apple's multi-touch trackpad which has been shipping in notebooks since January of this year. While Apple's Safari supports multi-touch gestures for common web browsing tasks (back, forward, resize text), support had been absent from Firefox

Wonder when PC manufactures will start copying multitouch?

I f**king hate multitouch. Anyone else accidentally resize text in Safari all the time?

MultiClutch gives you this functionality (and more) already. Map the gesture to a keyboard shortcut on a program by program basis. Boom you're good to go...link: <a class="user" href="http://wcrawford.org/2008/02/28/everytime-i-think-about-you-i-touch-my-cell/">http://wcrawford.org/2008/02/28/everytime-i-think- ...</a>

Now they just need to add a "doesn't take 45 seconds to launch on a brand-new Mac" feature.

The Multitouch gestures are only supported on the new Aluminum generation of MacBooks and MacBook Pros.

Apple didn't invent multitouch. They have just done the best job of implementing it, so far.

Sweet! I switched to Safari for awhile because I couldn't go back to browsing without multi-touch once I tried it. While Minefield, the nightly build of Firefox, implemented multi-touch experimentally, it wasn't quite stable enough for me. I'll now gladly welcome FF back as my default browser. :-)
