Sidetrack, enhance your trackpad

David wanted to share with us a little utility he discovered. Sidetrack enhances the functionalities of your iBook or PowerBook by replacing the default OS X driver. Sidetrack gives the possibility to emulate a scrollwheel by setting an outer border of the pad as a slide zone : just slide your finger up or down that zone and you'll make a webpage scroll, for instance.

I have been using this for quite a while now :)

[kurisu adds: Let's not get all excited. This type of function has been available for almost a decade on x86 laptops. Alps is the leader in trackpads manufacturing and those "tricks" were always part of the original design. Let's give credit when it is due : those were first introduced (I mean the drivers, coz most of the trackpads on your Apple laptops are from Alps anyway) on Windows lappies.]
