Magic Trackpad makes Lion crash

My Magic Trackpad seems to make Lion crash on my new MacBook Air [i7]. Twice when I tried to connect my Magic Trackpad, I got a "You need to restart your computer screen", then turned off the bluebooth on my MacBook Air and everything went back to normal.


Has anyone had the same problem?


Thanks!

I am having a regular trackpad kernel crash on my Macbook Pro 10.7.5 - NOT magic trackpad - the regular one. So I don't think it has anything to do with Bluetooth.


I've noticed that it seems to occur as I have one finger steady on the lower left side and am moving from left to right with my other finger (it has happened so often I actually am paying this close attention). It is by no means repeatable, however.


I went to the Genius bar and they said I have to drop off the Mac for a few days after assuring I have a full time machine backup (high chance of data wipe). But no can do with my workload.
