Logitech Wireless Touchpad

Most Wintel laptops now support a limited range of multi-touch gestures on their trackpads, such as the two-finger swipe to scroll up or down through long documents and web pages.

I'd love to see a version that works with Android so I can touchy feely from my bed (with touchpad resting on chest) with my tablet hovering above me (I built a custom holder just for that and use it to watch movies).
