Ok ... I remember reading the recent article that multi-touch was just a software change on recent model MacBooks and MacBook Pros. So ... now that the new MacBooks are out, do you think they will update the existing MacBook Pros? (Mine is about a month old.)

They can't, the previous MacBook Pros lacked the hardware controller for the more complex gestures.

I thought it was just a software update: (See this previous article from a while ago.)

MacNN | Apple: MacBook multitouch merely software update [U]


... actually I just pulled it up again. Apparently the previous article was bad. (Bummer.)
