    Now that the new MBPs have arrived, they come with a new feature called inertial scrolling (like flick-scrolling on the iPhone).

    Is this feature specifically hardware dependent or could this feature be implemented into the OS via a application like Bettertouchtools?

    Are there any apps out there right now that has this feature? :confused:

    Update:

    Smart Scroll allows inertial scrolling. Though it does cost $20 for a license....

    Yes as the new Macbook Pro's Interia scrolling is just software nothing to do with the actual hardware(trackpad).
