Multi Touch In Google Nexus One Tweet

The only thing that prevents Google Nexus One phone call from support multitouch features Apple's patent possible.

Allow me to explain: None of this hardware device to prevent the multitouch as seen by Google's comments this morning at their press conference. When asked if the Nexus One will one day support multitouch, a Google representative said, "We'll consider it." In a word, this means that the hardware is ready for users' pinch and zoom, but the repetition of the current Google software is locked to prohibit multitouch for reasons law. We provide a mobile world of hackers from several days to hack the device - after all, it has been done on the Droid.

Here is a video that shows the multitouch Droid:

And this is the way to achieve. European hackers found a way to jailbreak the device that is less a month after its release. In the United States, the people in AllDroid sussed how to port a web browser from Motorola Milestone - which does not support multitouch - the Droid. Granted, would only serve to hack a web browser, but a significant improvement for those who can live with a brick phone.

Hack requires candidates to have multitouch hero root access to the phone and install and remove certain components. Clearly, these users run the risk of violation of this device and may violate TOS Motorola and void the warranty.

All of the above applies to Droid. However, the same provisions that prevent multitouch device that also applies to Nexus One: It's not about hardware, software just locked. So, we tend to see waiting a few days to see who wants to risk $ 500 + device in an effort to Android mobile through multitouch violating KL-hack.

Apple's involvement with delaying or preventing more and better multitouch devices has become a topic of speculation in the press mobile gadgets since last year, when a group of several key patents issued to certain cues. Since then, several multitouch devices, such as Palm Pre, was released without fanfare law. However, some speculated that Google holds in multitouch for legal reasons.

"I think now more than legal considerations than on technical things, because many phones that run Android has the ability to support multitouch hardware level," wrote Jason Chen of Gizmodo as he played with the device last month.

And Chris Ziegler from Engadget says, "This is still very much a sensitive - but at least we have some confirmation that the limitation of the software alone ... there must be some logic (probably legal logic, but logic still) on the back of the device where the market got. "

What do you think - is this patent issue? Or the software just is not ready for public consumption yet? Better yet, if you have one of these devices, would you jailbreak for multitouch capabilities? Let us know in the comments.
