Trackpad Connected Via USB

Trackpad from Apple is a very cool device and it's fun to use. However, it was really disappointing to have that device working only on Bluetooth mode way. First, because Bluetooth connects consumes more energy from your laptop and reduces the battery life. Second, even though wireless connectivity is where the world is heading it is very important to give users an alternative. This is where this spectacular product has fail to deliver the right solution.

As of today rumors, apparently Mac is working on a USB solution for this problem. Which is expected to be fixed soon, or at least that is what the rumors say. The rumors also indicate that the possible new feature would only take 5 volts of power from the battery whereas the original set up the Trackpad only takes 3 volts. So far the new idea is not ready as one of the issues was power management.
