Magic Trackpad / Regular Touchpad customisation

Mainly I'm posting this because there's a little free program that some may not be aware of that turn a good product into a superb product. It's BetterTouchTool and what it allows you to do is set up custom multi-touch gestures for Magic Trackpad, the modern Macbook Touchpads and the Magic Mouse. These vary from in-built commands, to keyboard shortcuts to launching applications. So you can have for instance a Three Finger Tap launch the Dashboard and a Three Finger Click launch Finder or whatever.

Just thought that some may find this useful
