Multitouch Capabilities of the TP
 

Where are all the apps and software that deal with the multitouch part of the touch pro? Im still surprised that this hasn't taken off yet... Think of the possibilities!!

or maybe im just crazy and don't know what i'm talking about :evil4:

From what I've read, resistive touch screens aren't accurate enough to do multi touch justice. MS needs to get off its a$$ and add capacitive touch screen support to WM and they really shouldn't wait for WM7 to do it!

Re: Multitouch Capabilities of the TP
 

if u flash 6.5 you'll see it has multitouch

Re: Multitouch Capabilities of the TP
 

really? what in 6.5 has it?

Re: Multitouch Capabilities of the TP
 

I dont think 6.5 has multi touch, just 7 or else the TP2 and Diamond 2 and stuff like that would have multi.

Re: Multitouch Capabilities of the TP
 

they probably havnt locked it down. flash it and you will see

Re: Multitouch Capabilities of the TP
 

Thats pretty cool!

Re: Multitouch Capabilities of the TP
 

ive tried 6.5 and havent seen anything can you just let us know what it is instead of being secretive about it!!!

Re: Multitouch Capabilities of the TP

Re: Multitouch Capabilities of the TP
 

The guy in some Diamond 2 or TP 2 vid said that capacitive screens are not supported by 6.5 and resistive is not accurate enough.....

found this here http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/18/e...sses-the-mark/ Reason #4

6.5 supports resistive touchscreens. In fact, it only officially supports resistive touchscreens. Resistive touchscreens are less accurate and more frustrating to use with full touchscreen devices, and most of the new Windows Mobile devices are built around full touchscreen navigation! It's truly a mystery as to why Microsoft refuses to implement a superior technology. We did see it installed on a TI device with a capacitive screen, but it's clear that there's no effort to make this play nice with these displays (the rep in the video seems to suggest that Microsoft didn't lend a hand here). At any rate, if the scores of inaccurate, jumpy demos we've seen are any indication, using 6.5 -- no matter how "finger friendly" they tell you it will be -- is going to be a royal pain on resistive screens without a stylus. And you know how we feel about styli.

Re: Multitouch Capabilities of the TP
 

Stylus=>=0 lol hopefully Microsoft has some grand plan and pulls some superresistive/capacitive hybrid screen out of their butts and isn't telling us but I doubt it lol.

Re: Multitouch Capabilities of the TP
 

lol yeah i doubt it too. i honestly dont care much bout multi touch or little things like that i amd pretty much just waiting for the WinMo based Tegra phone to come out. The true Iphone killer in my eyes!!

Re: Multitouch Capabilities of the TP
 

flash jd's new 6.5 rom. hold one finger on the screen. place another finger on another part of your screen. move either finger and the screen will respond. tap on the screen and it responds. go back to 6.1 and it doesnt. I agree its not very accurate but possably usable.

Re: Multitouch Capabilities of the TP
 

Thank you for that, i wonder if any of the Chefs have even tried to do somthing with it, i know they need the API's to do anything, just curious if anyone has attempted.

Re: Multitouch Capabilities of the TP
 

I ask that same question myself. I asked jd in his 6.5 thread this question so i guess we'll find out. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...=60983&page=24

Re: Multitouch Capabilities of the TP
 

ok ive been searching and i guess Shapp over at XDA has attempted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=411836 though it looks like its still in the works. hes creating a whole UI with this feature. check it out. Now i am definatly going to be keeping an eye out for this cuz his UI idea sounds awsome.

Re: Multitouch Capabilities of the TP
 

hmm interesting... lol i was really pondering bout the metallic dpad with the home,back,send and end key lol... but your guys' discussion is pretty interesting as well.

Re: Multitouch Capabilities of the TP
 

Thats what happends when you give us Geeks a good topic to talk about lol :headbang:

Re: Multitouch Capabilities of the TP
 

I was showing my friend the Pre and I showed him the multi-touch of it and he said whats the point. I told him hes an idiot, you can zoom easier on web pages and images and stuff like that, but he countered with what can you do thats not image based and zooming.......He has a good point. My only comeback was games lol.
