Where is the Magic Trackpad app for the iPad?

Hey Apple! I want this.

Apple’s new Magic Trackpad is out and it’s getting great reviews. I’m not surprised. Multi-touch makes every other input device look ancient. When I needed to buy a new macbook pro for ITP Summer Camp, all I could think about was iPad. iPad, iPad, iPad. There’s something so attractive about pointing at an object that you want without having to scroll or track over to that object.

So my question is now… where is the app that turns your iPad into the ultimate input device? The Magic Trackpad seems like a major step down from the iPad considering that the iPad’s screen can evolve to be the input device you need for the right occasion. Wasn’t that one of Steve Job’s major selling point for the iPhone? A phone with no buttons is better than little plastic keys because the OS can bring up only the necessary keys. Isn’t it the case that a keyboard that can evolve for the occasion is better than a physical keyboard? It starts off as a huge Magic Trackpad but a keyboard appears when you need to input text. Seems simple enough.

I can picture plugging in the USB to the machine to sync, connectivity over Bluetooth and then unplugging to go present at meetings. You have the power of a full Mac machine but the portability and power of the cloud because of apps like dropbox.

This seems like a no brainer.
