Multi-Touch?

Also I read an article at some point that mentioned the possibility of creating a psuedo-multi touch by utilizing the fact that when you touch the screen in two places it registers a point in the middle. The idea was to create a program that could recognize this, I do not think anything has really come to fruition on this however.

Sure, that's great in theory... but think about it. Draw a point on a piece of paper and then draw a circle evenly distributed around that dot. Any 2 points on opposite sides of that circle would be equidistant from that center point. So although it may sound feasible to calculate the two points you're touching, in reality, the two points could be anywhere in a circle around that center point.

Well this is not exactly true becuase the phone would recognize the first point that was touched, and when the additional finger was applied the area would be recognized between those two points. Considering the phone would know where the initial point was touched the following point would theoretically have to be across from that point within a certain degree to make the point appear in between the two. I am just saying that it is possible, however as I already stated nothing like this has been successfully created it is easier to wait for winmo7.
