I didn't downvote you, but do either of your examples actually have anything to do with multi-touch?

  You're right, the two examples I chose to highlight aren't multi-touch. If you watch the video linked, you'll see a ton of examples that are, and you'll see Steve talking about how proud they are to have invented it and patented it. You'll also see the crowd freak-out when they see it, which I think is a reasonable way to assess how many times previously they've seen something similar.

    > You'll also see the crowd freak-out when they see it, which I think is a reasonable way to assess how many times previously they've seen something similar. I would disagree: RDF. Not to mention whether a group of Apple journalists and enthusiasts have seen something before isn't quite a waterproof endorsement of lack of prior art.

      What's RDF? >isn't quite a waterproof endorsement of lack of prior art. That's why I said "I think is a reasonable way...they've seen similar." I made no statement about it being waterproof or a lack of prior art.
