Multi-Touch Demo on G1

there have been many threads in the past over Apple's copyright (or lack there of) with multi-touch. I think the basic concensus is that Apple does not own the concept of multi-touch, but they may have specific hardware patents and patent certain gestures (like the finger pinch zooming).

This is very interesting though. After seeing the video I'm fairly convinced that multi-touch was left out of the G1 because it simply didn't work well, not because of legal issues with Apple.
