unlike a trackpad, it has a learning curve. however, if it were marketed as a superior product, and more people tried it, and they got over that couple hour hump of frustration, there would be a market for it. it is a superior navigation device, with practice.

Marketing something as a superior product doesn't make it superior.

Apple is about providing simplified solutions to problems. A Trackpad AND a nipple that hardly anyone will use, is not a simplified solution.
