    I didn't see this posted anywhere here yet.

    You can enable inertial scrolling by installing the new magic trackpad driver. See here for the driver and the list of supported MacBooks. Its working awesome so far on my late 2008 MBP :).

    It's a nice feature, nothing earth shattering ;) I haven't really used it in Finder yet, but I noticed in Firefox that if the site has flash the inertial scrolling gets real choppy (at least on my 2009 13" MBP). None flash and it's nice and smooth.

    I see that Apple put up this as a general OS X update yesterday, so separate download and installation is probably unnecessary.
