I ****ing hate Apple. Multitouch was inevitable but since they bought up the geniuses needed to put out the ipod touch /iphone first, suddenly its not ok for anyone else to have multitouch? Bullsh*t like this is counter-productive to technology.

As much as most will agree, this is just reality.
As far as I read it, the multi-touch patent extends to the "gestures" that the iphone/itouch are well-known for, not for the touch screens in general.
As for it standing up in the courts, you never know what can happen, so it's hard to predict. One thing is that we'll probably find out soon with the Palm Pre release coming soon.
