Multi-Touch?

[nannay12]

i heard windows 7 IS going to have multi touch in bedded into the software. i don't know if the mobile version will have it although. Look up windows 7 on youtube, and click on some of the links of people running its beta version on their PC's. It's REALLY cool!

there will be NO multitouch on winmo devices in the near future because apple has a patent on multitouch handheld devices....but its being challeged by some company right now, so we'll c

windows 7, certain editions on specific hardware WILL have multitouch...

wondering if you can help me out w/ some info. i have heard the same thing about apple and their patent but why is the Zune HD (supposedly going 2 b a little WM7 in its OS) going 2 have multitouch??? obviously noting has been confirmed but all the rumors say captive screen w/ multitouch, just like the rumors about WM7!??!!!

certain versions of wm7 WILL have multitouch, thats already confirmed

as for the zune and its multitouch capability rumour, well, my guess would be that its not a communication device and that might be what apple has the patent for

remember with the palm pre coming out and its multitouch capabilities, apple has already threatened to take action against them

I'd like to see Apple even think about trying to protect their "IP". If they were to ever take any company to court over multi-touch, every corporation using multi-touch will jump in to challenge Apple's claim in order to stop any precedence from occuring. The patent office had no right to allow multi-touch to be patented.

I thought Apple's gesture was on the gestures only...

agreed, but apple had a great plan going in and they succeeded in getting the patent....

for those pondering about the contents of the patent, google it, theyre publicly available for everyone.

not sure the name of the company as i read it on engadget a while back, but im really hoping apple gets shot down
