Does anyone know of the Magic Trackpad suffers the same slow cursor speed as the Magic Mouse? When moving the Magic Mouse slow, the cursor speed slows down even slower than the wired Mighty Mouse does. Just wondering if it's the same deal with the Magic Trackpad.
To me, the non-accelerated speed is about perfect with a little preference setting tuning, and it has plenty enough acceleration to allow a swipe to cross the entire screen in one shot.

Yeah, it's supposed to have an accelerated movement, though the original question seemed to suggest that the non-accelerated movement was still too slow. If you want 1:1 correspondence (or no acceleration), regardless of OS, you might be best served with a Wacom tablet and set its mouse to "pen mode". Windows does have a wider range of adjustments though, it offered me a better adjustment range than Mac OS. Snow Leopard seems to close that gap for the most part.

I don't have that problem at all. The cursor moves exactly at the same speed as my wireless magic mouse whether I go fast or slow.
Hey I dont have any problem with my magic mouse either as Ive had mine now for exactly 30 days..Works like a charm
You can fix that, and do so much more, with BetterTouchTool. Google it.
BetterTouchTool will also be adding a multitude of gestures for the Magic Trackpad.
It's Free (donations requested) and works brilliantly.
I will not be using it as it does NOT work brilliantly for the Magic Mouse, it works like absolute ****
The trackpad has all of the multitouch gestures that I wanted with the Magic Mouse, but didn't get.
BetterTouchTool is crude, and is flawed from the start, as the Magic Mouse is a terrible multitouch surface for anything besides scrolling.
