Macrumors is reporting that the rumored ultraportable Macbook we’re hoping for at Macworld 08 is to have Multitouch trackpad and external optical. The optical makes sense, and is welcome. The Multitouch Trackpad rumor is a curiousity: Macbooks already use simple multitouch in trackpads for two-finger scrolling. Maybe a Leopard update will allow for things like zooming and swiping, like the iPhone.

Also, rumors are saying that Apple is designing a replacement for the iSight. They won’t say any more other than that it is to be attached to the screen in “an unusual manner”.
