Coder Develops App to Enable Multi-Touch in G1

The G1 generally gets good reviews but one of the things reviewers note, across the board, is the absence of multi-touch support. A coder named Ryan Gardner has solved that problem. He authored an app that proves the G1 hardware will support the ability to use two fingers at once.

See for yourself in the video below. Gardner promises to post the app as soon as he finishes tidying up the code. Now the question remains, why wasn’t it already implemented by the original G1 software coders? Curious. Curious indeed.
