I think Igor was fairly explicit in what he said, capacitive multi-touch was not very precise, therefore a resistive screen was chosen. This is fine by me as I do want to have very find control over where I click with my stylus. Someone else mentioned possible patent infringements, I don't know how much of a factor this is. I'm not sure anything we say will affect this, though putting together good business cases to say how multi-touch will be beneficial (and being explicit about how) would probably be a good start (in the same way that we have been justifying why the PowerVR driver should be released, etc., on the wiki). > Quite contrary to iPhone developers , doing their best to > make iPhone No.1 gizmo.

No-one is stopping you, in fact if you can get the non-multitouch resistive screen to produce useful "multitouch-like" behaviour, which is what Gary (lcuk) has been looking at, I'm sure we'll all be very pleased.
