Test N1's multitouch support with these 2 apps Hopefully supports more than 2 points!

---

If somebody can test Nexus One's multi touch capability it would be great. Hopefully it supports more than 2 points!

I think these apps could be used: http://www.androlib.com/android.appl...-mtp-pipD.aspx

Only two points with either of those applications. Also the two points seems to interfere with each other.

This isn't "multitouch" when you're seeing the 2 points interfere with each other. It's the exact same thing the Dream had in it's rom.

I think this is at an os / rom level.. (although the Dolphin browser is very smooth!) Dolphin may be using this hacky 'multitouch' though.

I'll eat my hat when I see multitouch on Android that clearly supports more than 2 fingers...! I just don't think it's in the hardware.

Prove me wrong devs! I'm only a cartoonist.

Ooh! I take it back. "Toon Warz" from polarbit games is full multitouch!

PolarBit makes some gorgeous games.. holy god!

It's definitely not the hardware.

As of Android 2.x, multi-touch is available at the software level and might I say executed very well in apps like Dolphin. It's available in the new 2.1 SDK (I've played with it) and should work no differently than it does on the iPhone, possibly better given the better hardware. I haven't tried these two apps but it will be nice when developers start developing MT apps.

MT is turned off by default for built-in apps like Browser and Gallery and Google apps like Gmail, Maps, etc. MT is supported out of the box outside the U.S. As soon as the source code for 2.1 is released, developers creating custom ROMs can simply switch on MT and it will be in the built-in browser and the Gallery.

People have to stop saying Android doesn't support MT because that is no longer the case. Google simply refuses to give a concrete reason it was turned off in U.S. model devices.

Aren't the google apps protected in some way from redistribution? Wouldn't it stand to reason then, that we won't see their multitouch editions? Do they even release the source for those apps?

No, Google does not release the source code for their proprietary apps and no they cannot be redistributed (remember when Cyanogen released the 1.6 Market before Google?). Unless they are illegally distributed it is unlikely that we will see them (but I have no way to know that for certain). Besides, I personally find MT to not be of much use in the majority of apps since I use my phone with one hand and the N1 is especially too big to pinch with one hand. I'd rather double click. I can see how it could be vital to games. For example, it is currently not possible to play a NES emulator on a myTouch. There is no onscreen support and even if there was, you could not move the directional pad and click the buttons as the same time.
