STOCK GOT HAMMERED TODAY! Seems a little overdone for just a PowerBook change. Users are not too crazy about the speed of the new trackpad either. I think it might be a lot of fear that Apple may be dropping the company altogether, but that would be changing the most popular feature of the iPod at the height of its popularity. Herb This updated 2-8-05 2005 PowerBook G4s (#3): Slower trackpads, workaround; Brighter screens; more Slower trackpads, workaround Yesterday we first reported that the new "scrolling" trackpads included on Apple's 2005 PowerBook G4 systems are considerably slower (at the fastest setting) in terms of cursor speed than the trackpads included with previous models. We've since received a number of corroborating follow-up reports, with most readers reporting the slow cursor speeds as a minor detractor from the otherwise well-working new trackpad. According to several reports, Apple is using a new manufacturer for the trackpads in its 2005 PowerBook G4s. Previously, the trackpads were manufactured Synaptics Inc. Some users have reported success using MouseZoom, a preference pane which speeds up mouse cursor movement in Mac OS X, to improve the usability of the new trackpads. macfixit.com
