Synaptic Touchpad Toys - Today's Time Waster

For laptop users that use their ubiquitous touchpads, Synaptics has a page with four different toys to play with. Dubbed the Synaptic Utilities, the four applications consist of the following:

• DrumPad
• Sketch
• Theremin
• TouchPadSays

Personally, I'm partial to the theremin toy, but the others are worth playing with. Synaptic touchpads don't support multi-tap functionality, so the drumpad is somewhat limited in terms of it's usefulness, but of course it's just meant to be fun. Sketch basically lets you draw pictures that looks strikingly similar to the Etch-a-Sketch pictures you drew as a kid. TouchPadSays is Simon Says using the drum pad interface.
