>From what I've heard, the G1 phone doesn't not handle real multi
touch.

When there are several touches, it just indicates all the X and Y
coordinates, but you still don't know to which impact it is connected.

For instance, you can know that there are some impacts with this
coordinates:
X = 5, 10
Y = 5, 10

But from there, you can't decide whether the impacts are at ( 5, 10 )
and ( 10, 5 ) or (5, 5) and (10, 10 ).
You can still use for those limited things ( multi touch zooming ),
but definitively not for everything !
Still from what I've heard, it is a hardware limitation, so it won't
change !!!

Ps : Note that I would love to be proven wrong, as I have a G1 :)
