If U guys don't know yet, Apple owns the patent for Multi touch on handheld. That is why U cannot see it on any handheld for a technology that is 2 years old. U can see multi touch on devices but it is hidden or purposely disabled to avoid lawsuit. Meizu m8 have multi touch. But this is chinese company. and US jurisdiction cannot touch those guys simply because their law does not give a crap. U can see all those Iphone or any other phone clones floting around. Back to meizu, Since they have multi touch and it cannot be released or else apple lawyers will be on their @ss, there is a loophole. As long as they put "demo unit" sticker on the device, they cannot be sued. SO they can do that on all the device they wanna sell.
Prolly in the future, Other devices will have multi touch as long as apple got a cut on it but at this point, It's their bread and butter so they won't be licensing it to any other competitor.

so if they have it patented, how is it that microsoft continues developing multitouch platforms for their new operating systems for pc nd mobile? are they not concerned about the lawsuit which they might face?
or is it that they didnt expect apple to get a patent?
