A large problem with this perspective is it assumes that it was only through disclosure that competition could have been presented. Do you have to know all of the math behind how Apple did 'pinch to zoom" to be able to implement it yourself? I'm not talking about the physical aspects of the multi touch display. Just the software that receives two touch points and uses interaction between them to scale an image. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
