T-mobile G1 multitouch proof of concept video (by RyeBrye)

it's a capacitive screen so im sure it able of doing that, idk why t mobile didnt put it on more of the software like web browser, and photo zooming

And the reason it is not already implemented is because of legal issues with apple...damn apple...

hello,

the android is using the same type of touchscreen used on the iphone right? resistive touchscreen.. on the iphone there are some apps u can use more then just 2 fingers, you can use 4 or i think 5 fingers..

with your proof of concept, can you use more then 2 fingers on the screen?

thanks btw :)

Capacitive.

the iphone uses a capacitive touch screen. it is heat sensitive (that's how it can tell if it is a real living thing) and can go up to 3 fingers. all android phones are capacitive touch screen so that means iphone and android uses the same touch screen. with a custom rom, android can have full touch screen like i do. BTW touch resistive means you need pressure to activate the touch screen like windows mobile devices. the devices come with a stylus. stop being a douche bag and learn something.

very glitchy

This just shows that the projection-type touch technology used by the G1 is able to provide similar multi-touch functionality to the iPhone's capacitance-type touch screen. Okay, so it starts with an ugly hack, but now I'm using the latest custom firmware, it's great to have pinch-to-zoom on my browser. =D

Your work is thoroughly appreciated.
