Is this the game?

I cant see it needs more than 1 finger
Btw, If that's really what you want (more than 2 fingers multitouch), then certainly HTC Desire is not your phone.
I think your phone might be the next Windows Phone 7, because Microsoft put 4 fingers multitouch as requirement.
But then, you will wait at the end of this year ... which:
- You wont have multitasking
- You wont have copy paste
- You wont have sd card slot
- You wont have customization
- You wont have sideloading
- You wont have ...
Or iPhone 4G which I dont know if it has more than 2 fingers multitouch (but certainly it does not have problem like the Pong game). I know, you said that you wont get iPhone, but if you do:
- You wont have FULL/TRUE multitasking
- You wont have sd card slot
- You wont have customization
- You wont have sideloading
- You wont have ...
So yeah, tough luck
I also want something like this:
- 4.3" SUPER AMOLED screen
- 1.5 GHz dual processor Snapdragon (or Samsung 1GHz + Hummingbird GPU)
- 1 GB RAM
- 16 GB internal memory
- 720 HD recording
- TV-out (like HTC Incredible)
- Thin like HTC Desire
- Hardware buttons like HTC Desire
- Micro-SD card slot
- FM Radio
- GPS
- ... what not
Same like you, I have to wait ...............
PS: I still dont get it, why do you really need super persistant, precise multi-touch ... if in real life almost none applications use it. The screen is small enough, I cant imagine doing 5 fingers multitouch in it
It could be cool just for showing of ... but I cannot wait several years just to show of.
Well as I don't really play a lot games I also don't know a lot of them, but as an example:
I recently saw somewhere on youtube a game called "Cross Fingers" for the iPhone. For this one definitively needs more than 2 fingers for some scenarios.
Also looking at the precision of the display I actually see problems for a lot of even '2 finger' applications like e.g. a gamepad emulator or a mousepad emulation for remote controlling a PC's mouse (hold a button and move the cursor at the same time).
Besides games there could be a lot of useful things than could be done with more than 2 fingers. E.g. there could be a gesture where the screen rotates according to a 3 finger swipe to a side of the device. (only an example)
At the moment there is for sure not a lot of stuff yet that will require more than 2 fingers at the same time, simply because no hardware supports it yet (apparently). But it will come, and then I don't want to have a phone that doesn't support it.
Please don't get me wrong. The Desire is surely a very great phone and the multi-touch thing will probably not be important to 99% of all people buying it.
But I really do want to have a precise multi-touch display that simply detects every point there where the fingers actually are. And I don't want to spend >400Euros on a device that wont give me what I want.
