To almost no one’s surprise, the new MacBook Air, introduced today at Macword, supports multi-touch gestures similar to that popularized by the iPhone.
The display doesn’t include a touch sensor, however.
Instead, an enlarged touch pad supports the new gestures. What gestures are supported (http://www.apple.com/macbookair/features.html)?
There’s the two-finger pinch gesture, that*can be used in iTunes or a photo-album app, or Safari to zoom in and out.
There’s the swipe new three-finger (yes, three finger) swipe gesture supported in Safari to navigate forwards and backwards among pages.
Also new is a two finger rotate gesture.
Some other gestures include a screen zoom (hold the control key down while sliding two fingers up or down), tap, click and drag, click, drag and lock, and two-finger clicks. Not bad.
