The point I was making is that I believe it can be done without ANY additional hardware... I was pointing out that you could simply use math to find out where the two fingers are... it seems logical to me, and while I don't think we could write a device driver so that it is default in windows mobile--I do think that people could write software to do Multi-Touch-"like" gestures...

Here's an example...

When you push down one finger, and then another... the cursor INSTANTLY jumps to the new point... so you could write the software to realize this, and say, "hey, he's using multi-touch." If you pull your finger off, or just swipe it, then it will realize that, and work per usual...
