[Adnroid Tips] MultiTouch on Android G1 for FREE? Have you Got one?
Tuesday, January 13, 2009 3:24
Another proof on the great potential of Android OS have come. Luke Hutch of phandroid have managed to bring multitouch feature working on his T-Mobile G1. Note that our good folk have done nothing to the Android’s kernel. He said that he only change one system classfile. Cool huh?
The video uses a lot of developer lingo but illustrates beautifully how multi-touch could work on real applications like Google Maps scaling. There’s limitations though(the Synaptics touchscreen was not physically designed for multitouch, and thereby has some problematic though predictable issues).
Like we’ve said before, Android really is quite promising. And I, for one, can’t wait until it’s done cooking (or at least until everyone stops fearing Apple’s multitouch patents). For those with G1s interested in duplicating this demo, Hutch has provided all of his software with full instructions on his site.
