    Please god... let this not be a repeat of cupcake hype

    I'm up for improvements to my G1/Android as the next person, but please don't talk wildly about the possibilities as this early stage of development!!!

    I do not understand why they continually decide to not support multitouch. Its like they are purposely trying to be behind the ball on things.I understand there is a lawsuit floating against apple but if every other company is adding mulittouch to devices the case must not be that strong

    To HELL with multi-touch. I don't see why people get all excited about it anyway. I normally use my phone with one hand.

    The real thing to be excited about is VPN and Enterprise WEP. Those are useful editions that will let me use my phone even more to get things done while offsite or not at my desk. Multi-touch IMO is just some crap to look cool. Its nice if it comes along but definitely no deal breaker if it doesn't.

    agree 100%. who the hell needs multi touch. Like you said, who uses their phone with two hands? Lame.

    multi-touch is actually pretty useful for a virtual keyboard.

    Multi-touch is okay in the cooked roms, but a better and more thorough implementation of it would be nice. (i.e. multi-touch gestures, more delicate control, etc.)

    What about NTLM support within the browser? It would be real nice to connect to sharepoint or other protected sites that have an NT auth challenge.

    It is simply because the G1 and other HTC/Android phones cannot do multi-touch from the hardware level. There are other posts about this.

    The devices can do a fake multi-touch called "blob" but as for real multi-touch...it just simply won't happen. Sorry.

    Check the thread on this.
