Chinese Trackpad Handwriting

wish i had the shiny mb now instead of the white one :P. O well, i would only wanna show it to my taiwanese friend and then have no further use for it.

About how to activate it :
Go to System Preferences, Language & Text, Input Sources then search for Chinese for exemple.
You should have a preference to display the interface (ctrl+space by default).
The option to show the interface is only available for laptops with multitouch trackpad (if you don't, you'll not see the option).

So it doesn't work on a macbook except for the discontinued aluminum one that became a macbook pro?

how do you activate it?

Your reply is confusing - maybe you just haven't tried the feature yourself, but it's a perfectly valid question to ask.

I came across quite a few characters that just aren't recognised. Also you wouldn't be able to do any of the hiragana stuff so you'd have to write the kanji part of a word - for example 話す, you'd write 話 on the touchpad and add the す manually with the keyboard. It could still be useful for someone copying a kanji from a picture or a book, say

think it will be possible to write faster on the trackpad that it will be to use pinyin?

do you think every chinese can type chinese 100 billion times faster than that?
