That old Apple news standby, a "trusted source," is saying upcoming MacBooks will borrow multitouch technology from the iPhone.
Sez Josh Goldman:

The feature will be built into the touchpads, allowing you to navigate through your notebook’s files, applications, etc. the same way you can on the iPhone. (Yes, I know you can already scroll with them, that’s nothing new. I’m talking about all the other finger gestures that can be done on the iPhone’s screen.) ...Just having it for flipping though your iTunes Library and for zooming in on photos or docs or sites would be great.
