if youre like me, and you spend a decent amount of time on the road with no mouse available, but are fed up with having no scroll wheel, check out sidetrack! ive been running this for about a month now effortlessly.
just sharing what ive found. this has sped me and my ibook up immensly.
Dan.

It's a nice program and works well. There are still some bugs that need to be sorted through. When I use it I don't feel that my trackpad is as responsive. It is still in beta form and when the final is released I think that it will be a great to have.

I use this on my mini-powerbook and really like it. After weeks of frustration, though, I have given up on the tap-as-option-click feature. Seems that each time I set my finger on the pad -- no matter how lightly -- it option+clicks. Very annoying.
What would be perfect IMHO is if you could set this option for double-tap instead. That would more than make up for the lack of a two-button trackpad.

I have it working nicely on my PB12. It's not perfect. On occasion, the scrolling function gets "stuck," but overall this is something Apple should have built into the OS.
I fired up my old Toshiba laptop and wow. It already has the scrolling functionality just like the author of SideTrack said.

I can't understand why this feature is like this on Macs. I've been researching notebooks and I would really like to get a Mac but all the Mac laptops do this. I end up accidently opening or selecting unwanted stuff. Why don't they have a sensitivity option? I know you can turn it off but I like this feature. Its sad to say but PC laptops don't seem to experience this issue. I really don't want to get a mouse and be confined to working on a desk or table.

Anyone else having troubles installing this? I install it, and then once I reboot and go into preferences it says the driver isn't loaded. After many reboots, nothing seems to help...
EDIT: Well odd enough I just tried again and it works perfectly fine! Figures...
