so CAN the G1 use multi touch?

[pinaytoy]

From what I remember on another thread, the phone is capable of multitouch. Someone even demonstrated it on a video. If I can find the thread, I'll post it.

yes it definitely is. just do this.......go to your home screen> click and hold any app> while youre holding the app go ahead and slide another finger across the screen you will see that the app moves. which means we are multi touch capable.

Is it capable ? No. Does it support multi touch ? No.

Is it capable ? No. Does it support multi touch ? No.

you mean no right now right? cuz all we need is software. we have the hardware for it.

I don't think this means that it's Muti touch. That would mean the mouse on my POS laptop is multi touch capable because it does the same thing.

The G1 isn't going to be the only phone that supports the Googles OS. See it's easier for apple to implement a multi touch screen because they only have 1 phone to support their OS. Not every android phone is going to have a touchscreen. As of this moment android does not support Multi touch, I don't believe it ever will either.

that video doesn't show anything. Most touch screens would do that.

hey someone asked 4 multi-touch, that's multi-touch to me lol if this make him happy

From my understanding, the device itself supports multi touch. The problem is the gestures. Apple filed for a mess of patents for this.

Also that video is not an example of multi touch. I can do the same thing with my Wind and MDA.

i think we are not far from it
