As always, I could be wrong... However, my understanding is that it requires a different type of touchscreen and possibly a different type of control chip than you normally find with pda/touchscreen devices. In this case I believe that resistive touchscreens are not capable of distinguishing multi-touch situations. Some capacitive touchscreens apparently can. What else is involved beyond driver changes I do not know.

Are you sure about that?  This post from Sean seems to indicate that it can be done software side:

Of course he also said it would not be done for the initial release.  But if an enterprising community member wanted to modify the driver, they could because it's open source! ;)

It strikes me as highly unlikely -- that would require hardware
changes.
