This is quite interesting - would mean that you could do iPhone style pinching on the top of your mouse! would be quite useful in photoshop-esque environments! Although I would prefer to have a separate little A5 pad or something for it!

What do you guys think? Apple going to do this or just covering there bases with there inventions?

It would be a big gimmick, but don't get me wrong I bet once you used it it'd probably grow on you (iPhone style).

I think this is just Apple applying for patents, and possibly testing the technology for the "multitouch" computer they're supposedly working on

I was thinking the very same - apple tend to cover all bases when they have new tech.
