This one slipped under our radar this week, but it's interesting nonetheless: Apple's filed for a "Magic Trackpad" trademark, which would seemingly indicate that there's a companion to the Magic Mouse in the works. That's all we know for now, but recall that John Gruber at Daring Fireball hinted that Apple was working on a "multi-touch trackpad gadget for desktop Macs" back in October just before the revised white MacBook (http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/macbook-goes-unibody-available-today/) was released. Obviously nothing's come of that yet, but it all seems to fit -- either that, or Apple's trademark attorneys are just trying to cover their bases. We'll see what happens.Apple files for Magic Trackpad trademark (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/apple-files-for-magic-trackpad-trademark/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Sun, 28 Feb 2010 21:30:00 EST.
