The editors didn't like
Isn't better than a mouse for design and professionals
Bit expensive
Takes a bit of time to become familiar with
Doesn't work with all programs
Not as precise as a mouse or trackball
Not ideal for large screens or multiple displays
Snow Leopard only
A new outlay for a product with questionable lifespan
Need to cheat a bit to install it on PC
Very slight latency between movement on pad and the screen
The upper part of the pad is hard to click
Doesn't work well on dualscreen. Best to use it on a single screen.
