What? This cannot be right! Apple "patenting" using two fingers on a touch screen (Like driving a car with two hands) and a feature that has been on most phones with any multimedia at all. I guess it was so HTC could make the G1 smarter than the iPhone 3G!

@Ryo,

I read that last night and in my opinion I believe he is correct.

This is the guy who hacked multi-touch on the G1 so there is instant credibility.

Also I think we all wanted to have some reason or excuse as well something to blame for not having multi-touch and the 3.5mm port so Apple became an easy target.

A satire because of the massive amounts of posts saying that Google axed Multitouch because of Apple, which might simply not be true ( http://lukehutch.wordpress.com/2009/02/10/multi-touch-and-more-tinfoil-hats/ )

LOL, I can’t believe someone really believe Apple has any right for 3,5mm headphone jack. Get serious.
