So far as I can tell, from playing with the Android SDK, the only thing that is lacking is that touch events that are fired off simply need to be able to report more than a single mouse location. Of course, it is nondeterministic as long as the full source code is still unreleased, but just from a developers perspective, it wouldn't make any sense to cripple the low-level interface that Synaptics provided.

Google may not want to test the legal waters in regards to Apple's claims over multitouch, but one way or another, I'm pretty sure multitouch is coming to the G1.
