I thought I read someplace (it could have been a rumor in some blog or an official statement from Apple, I honestly cannot remember) that Apple was to release a Blue Tooth track pad to support other hardware.

As I understand it, one of the big changes coming in Snow Leopard is that VO users will be able to use the track pad to navigate and interact.
