The problem with Apple's multitouch trackpads is that they are only found on the company's MacBook range. A Japanese company, Filco, has announced a trackpad that brings that feature to the PC.

The SmartTrack Neo plugs into any USB port on any PC running on Microsoft Windows XP or Vista. Despite its USB 1.1 spec, I want one on my table.

This USB gadget will go on sale in Japan on April 25 for 4,980 yen (about US$51)
