This even expanded to the "theories" that Apple is the reason why there is no 3.5mm headphone port on the G1 - http://www.googleandblog.com/why-no-g1-35mm-headphone-jack/3750/ - but Luke Hutchison who hacked multi-touch onto the G1 says both claims are bogus.

It has been *suggested* that the lack of multitouch is intentional to avoid potential trouble with Apple http://www.talkandroid.com/790-google-apple-multi-touch-g1/ If this is true then even if full MT could be hacked in then it will still never make an official release. According to the googs, they'd love to have a proper mt framework in place. The hack Luke put together (overriding size) isn't it, and he agrees. So instead of "omg they hate multitouch!" work up a spec and submit some patches - if they get refused for no good reason, THEN you can buy into the whole "apple rules the world" mess.. :) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
