My dear friend, I welcome your comments on multitouch howto. I work in my spare time with one multitouch group in Japan, another in UK, one again in Sweden, not to say New York, MIT , UoT. So multitouch in maemo works as it works. I can use 2 fingers to move web page horizontally ( it works for semantic pages). And once again. It works without stylus with 2 fingers only. Just have a try not guess.
This is just the reason for a subject line in my thread. maemo by Nokia was very very close to multitouch interfacing and still is. I was really surprised to hear , some maemo developers try to close the multitouch thread not to let us sing one day We are the Champions. Multitouch is exactly about maemo development.

Making maemo multitouch is still an open choice. patent claims make set no special restrictions to development of other multitouch solutions - interfaces. We are the leaders. Aren't we ? Visit my multitouch Microsoft surface computing Semantic Magazine to learn more about other multitouch technologies.
