In an emailed response to another user disappointed in the performance of the glass trackpad on his new MacBook Pro, Steve Jobs said, “Software Fix coming soon,” according to MacRumors.

We reported on the possible dustup over quirky trackpads on Monday, noting the growing number of threads related to user concerns about it in Apple’s discussion forums. In comments to our post Cult of Mac readers, on balance, haven’t seemed to find it much of an issue, but if a software patch is indeed forthcoming, that should be good news to all who have been bothered by the problem.

    I’m having a few trackpad issues on my new MBP, but to be honest, it’s the QC which is more of a problem.

    I’m on machine no. 6. Yes, 6. Dead pixels, dings, scratches and now machine no. 6 which is still not perfect and has a small mark under the glass screen.

    I THINK I’m going to keep it though, as I honestly think it is the best of a bad lot. Still paying TOP ££ and not having something perfect still infuriates me.

    Haven’t you learnt the truth about perfection?

    Be happy with something really really good.

    Cheers,
    Ashley.
