T-Mobile capable of multi-touch?

Hmmm, another useless article. Everyone knows that it is capable of multi-touch, most touchscreen devices are. The reason why it have it is because Apple has it copyrighted. Another tid bit of information that 99% of Android users already know.

Doubt you'll see a market app come out for this as it would infringe in the copyright.

I wouldn;t say that, look at HP touch PCs - Look at Microsoft surface computing - There is obviously a lot of room for movement around apple for "multi-touch" technology..

Uhm, no. Most touchscreen devices are NOT capable of multitouch. Most touchscreen devices are resistive, meaning they use opposing gradients to come up with an X and Y resistance corresponding to location. Haven't you ever touched a screen in two places and seen the cursor go somewhere in between your fingers? (Yes, I know the G1 is capacitive and not resistive, but MOST touchscreens are resistive.)

Also, it's not a copyright problem. It's a patent problem.

Get your facts straight, then maybe you can make posts that contribute something.
