G1 Multitouch Proof-of-Concept Video

Posted on Monday, Nov 24, 2008 by Brian Hart

iPhone-like multitouch on the G1 - sound crazy or impossible? It was previously discussed right here at Android Central, and once again, thanks to RyeBrye.com, there is now a proof-of-concept video. The video demonstrates that multitouch on the G1 and on the Android OS is not just a pipe dream, but can be a reality. Given that it does not exist on the G1 in it's present incarnation, one can surmise that Apple owns multitouch and will only give it up if it can be pried from their cold dead hands, so to speak. Give the video a look and jam out to some Pink Floyd "Dark Side of the Moon" while you watch - do you want multitouch on your G1? Will Android handsets have multitouch someday?
