Apple's acquisition of Fingerworks provided them with the multi-touch technology (and just as important, IP) that they used to build the iPhone. Definitely one of the most important acquisitions in their history.

I have an old Fingerworks trackpad and it works amazingly well even today.

Not just their history alone even. Fingerworks' tech was one of the most important IP acquisitions in recent history in my opinion.
