Touchpads on a MAC BOOK PRO do support gestures ;) Gesture support is not a general thing touchpads can do. Most do support horizontal/vertical scrolling, when touching/dragging them "at the bottom" or "on the side".

But as far as I know the MacBook Pro and Air etc. ("recent Apple laptops") are the only devices with gesture aware touchpads (for instance, they recognize "4 finger sweeps" etc.). But I am pretty sure in the near future also Windows 7 based laptops will provide similar functionality, hardware-wise (if not currently available).

Cheers, Oliver
