Is it possible to get 3 and 4 fingers gestures on the MacBook Pro 2.2Ghz (late 2007)? I tried it on the new MacBooks and I like it a lot! Any way of copying the trackpad drivers or are there hardware limitations?

No way. The trackpads on the MacBook Pros weren't multi-touch capable until the last revision in early 2008. This was due to the addition of a new controller chip.

*Possibly* these gestures could be added to that series, but not earlier.

well, they support 2 fingers scroll, so they are multi-touch in some way I guess?
