It seems to be more of an attempt to attract attention.
Synaptic were working on Multitouch sensors before Apple Patented, and researchers have been for years before Apple too.
And looking at the patents, they are obvious. Hopefully Apple don't win this.
- danudey 17y agoThe issue is that Apple hasn't patented multitouch; they've patented heuristic algorithms to determine gestures based on multitouch input (the '949 patent'). That's why all Android phones (and the Palm Pre) shipped with multitouch-capable screens, but no multitouch-capable software (until the recent Nexus One update).
