USB Multi-Touch Smart Pad [Zoom, Rotate, Scroll Using Two- Three-Finger Movements]

USB pointing devices are typically limited in their functionality. You can point, click, and scroll but it seems they fall short when it comes to being able to dynamically manipulate images and documents. The latest product innovation from Brando, the USB Multi-Touch Smart Pad, is hoping to increase your productivity with its broad range of features like the ability to zoom in and out or rotate pages and graphics all using a combination of two- and three-finger movements on its touch-sensitive pad surface.

The USB Multi-Touch Smartpad is a 2-in-1 combo touchpad that features both a Multi-Touch touchpad and integrated numeric keypad. You can switch between the two functions with the touch of a single button and since it’s not much bigger than a standard mouse you can take it with you even when you’re traveling. The coolest features are the various mouse commands that you can replicate by simply using a series of two and three-fingered taps and movements on the touchpad. You can zoom in, rotate, and emulate the functions of a three button mouse with a scroll wheel. For those of you with an iPhone you are already used to some of the movements so it should come as second nature to you.

If you are into graphic design or desktop publishing the Windows XP/Vista compatible USB Multi-Touch Smartpad just might help to move things along for you. It’s compact (80 x 104 x 15-mm) and only weighs about 100-g, which means it won’t take up much space in your office or your suitcase.
