I think this conversation is very off topic. Without actually discussing any patents, if you guys acquainted yourselves with the facts you would know that all the gossipy tech sites making rumors aren't very well researched. When a certain widely known corporate head got on stage and said "boy have we patented it" or whatever it was, you shouldn't take him at face value. If you dig even remotely shallowly you'll realize that nothing even remotely critical is covered by any patent. As you can see, another tech company has released a product with a very well implemented version of this feature already.
So really this thread should go back to the technical issue of getting from no support, to full multi-touch support. Not conjecture that gossipy internet sites have stirred up for their own increased traffic benefit. -E On Jul 14, 1:26 pm, Streets Of Boston <[email protected]> wrote: > I have to use this argument in traffic court so now and then :-) > "Sorry officer.
