I'm thinking trackpad, but I'm not sure. I've used the mouse a while back and didn't find it that good for multi-touch. Not really sure which one to go for. Anyone have both? Which do you prefer?

Also, ordering off Apple.ie, does anyone know how long postage takes on small items like these? And what's the return period for accessories? I'm thinking I might just buy both and return the one I least like.

I prefer the trackpad much more day to day, but for any sort of peripheral activities like gaming, you need a proper mouse. The Magic mouse isn't that good at it either, so I'd recommend a trackpad sand a cheapo mouse for when you need it.

There's an app called Better Touch Tool that turns a Magic Mouse or trackpad into the most multitouch device ever. Worth a look.
