I was thinking today as I was scrolling via double-finger on my MBP trackpad.... if that can be done, then there's no reason an updated driver/firmware couldn't add pinch/pull features off the iPhone to any of the MacBook and MBP laptops.

(this is more of a rambling on my part, and I stuck it in OS X, b/c I figure its an OS level driver improvement)
MacBook Pro | 2.16 ghz core2duo | 2gb ram | superdrive | airport extreme
iBook G4 | 1.2ghz | 768mb ram | combodrive | airport extreme
iPhone 3GS | 32 GB | Jailbreak, or no Jailbreak

The hardware can track multiple finger input, so its possible.
