So, I do this with three phones now, and haven't found one that it doesn't work with. Granted, I had to buy the missingsync to make them all work, but that was 19$ on discount.


On a mac laptop you can tap with one finger for a left click and two fingers for a right click...you can also drag with 2 fingers to scroll up and down...I find myself doing it ALL THE TIME on my dell laptop only to be disapointed that it doesnt work.
This last point is really funny. As someone who uses both mac laptops and ibm thinkpads daily, I ALWAYS find myself trying to do this when I get back to the thinkpad. It just works really well, as well as the one finger click/select and the two finger click/second menu. Afters almost a year with a macbook pro, I still try it on the IBM daily. Must be a problem between the KB and the CHAIR!
