Yes, this idea has been bounced around on the IRC at least (not to belittle you coming up with it also :] ). One could indeed do limited multi-touch emulation, recognizing quick drags and extrapolating the position of the second finger to be at the point twice the distance from the drag startpoint as the drag endpoint. AFAIK nobody is actually doing that and it has its limits as you indicate (no way to reliably know which finger is moving after the dual-tap and such); however, the way is clear for somebody interested to experiment... -- Mikko Rauhala <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> University of Helsinki _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
