Apple's New Trackpad?

jamesoutlaw writes, "I came across this article on Go2Mac.com today. It has some interesting information on a trackpad that might make its appearance in the next PowerBook. Among its features are 'hot spots' and the use of a stylus for handwriting input. When the Newton was discontinued, Apple stated that they were not licensing the NewtonOS or opening the source for the OS, and that they were going to integrate some of the Newton technology into a future product. It looks like this trackpad may be a part of that." Of course, this would make a cool external device for desktop machines (Macs, PCs or newfangled Web pads) as well, if the handwriting recognition software were available. Apple?
