but at the same time, how is it possible to patent a technology on a handheld device?

is it just that our devices arent capable of having multitouch (hardware wise, and specifically to the diamond and most winmo devices) in addition to the development not being implemented by microsoft?

it seems pretty retarded that a company can patent an idea, preventing anyone from using it. Its like if apple patented portable mp3/music players, sounds so impossible.

im so confused.

edit: meatgel's post makes sense. but then what jethro is saying is wrong? OH LORD THE CONFUSION
