As for trackpad, doesn't Apple support scroll wheel simulation when using both fingers on the trackpad and moving these up/down (I think it needs to be enabled, don't have a trackpad myself)?
I have a recent 12" PB and its trackpad supports two finger drag scrolling out of the box. I love it. I usually hate trackpads with a passion but this thing works so well I don't even bother with a mouse when I'm using the PB on a desk.
Most alu powerbooks that were made in the past few years support it as well, with a third party driver. See: iScroll2 http://www-users.kawo2.rwth-aachen.de/~razzfazz/
I've been using that for the past few months (works both on Panther and Tiger) and I love it, I can't shake off the habit when I work on my girlfriends ibook ;) What I also prefer above uControl is that you can also assign right-click to two-fingers on pad and click (and the fact that it's (nag)free)
And although it's possible to have horizontal scrolling enabled (or even circular scrolling) I don't use it, because it's a bit hard to really move vertical/horizontal with two fingers.
