I have had a Trackman for a couple of months now. It really works.
You can drag one handed which was the one deficiency in a trackball
over a mouse. It was a little awkward at first as I did not have
the reflexes to point with my thumb as I had with my hand but
I soon was pointing and dragging as quickly with my thumb as my hand.
However it still does not feel quite as "right." OTOH the Trackman
stays in one location so my hands can always find it. This is very
useful for applications (e.g. word processing) where my hands are
always moving between the Trackman and the keyboard. This is a 
real winner.
