IMHO multi-touch is really overrated in significance. The only multi finger gesture I use is pinch zoom and it’s like once a week. If that was a widget or triple tapping or something, I wouldnt notice.
The improvements to touch that made it magical was the super responsive typing and momentum scrolling and it’s all just one fingered.
- nicoburns 7y agoSuper responsive typing actually does depend on multitouch, because if you type fast then you will have multiple fingers touching different keys at the same time.
- duncanawoods 7y agoIt's a stretch to call that multi-touch. The key press events are still a serialised stream of single finger touches. When people have spoken about multi-touch features and patents they have invariably been referring to chords and gestures.
