I've seen this asked many many times so mind as well make a thread to address it.
To be short and simple, no.
It seems way too unrealistic to believe that everything from the Essex will be plug and play with the Tour.
You would need the keyboard with the hole for the trackpad to fit the Tour perfectly.
You would need the trackpad to sit in the frame and keyboard of the Tour perfectly.
You would need the sensor for the trackpad to fit inside the Tour perfectly.
You would need this sensor to be wired into the Tour perfectly.
And finally if all this works who knows if a Tour OS would simply run a trackpad thinking its a ball.
Also add in the fact that the Essex is only rumored at this point and you get my simple answer.
Is it possible - very very very doubtable maybe
Is it likely - absolutely not.
But again simply my answer, prove me wrong when the Essex comes out.
As for now if you want a trackball get a Tour, want a trackpad and wifi wait for an Essex.
From my original post "And finally if all this works who knows if a Tour OS would simply run a trackpad thinking its a ball"
Just figured I'd make a point its not gonna work seems like someone in each trackball issue thread has to ask.
And let's be honest if your asking this question do you think you'd be able to modify your tour? Probably not.
