Apple has filed a continuation of an older patent for a wide touchpad on a portable computer. Now before anyone gets to excited, its not for a touchscreen display. This patent deals with the touchpad that would seem to replace the current trackpad and make it larger and wider and from the look of the patent picture it would go across the entire notebook.
The current trackpad would be replaced by this large touchpad and will have some “multi-touch” capabilities. My first thought was that would be where your wrists would sit or touch while typing, but it seems that Apple has taken care of that and according to the patent filing the touchpad would be smart enough to tell the difference.
Of course, this is still just a patent filing and we could never see anything from it. It would be nice to see some extra functionality via the touchpad, I wonder what Apple has in mind for it to control.
