Apple has had much better multitouch support from day one as well. They started with a grid of sensors that could detect over 10 touches or something like that. Android devices have slowly struggled up from single touch, to single touch with a few multitouch gestures, to multitouch with an inability to tell apart certain situations, to real multitouch for certain numbers of points. Mostly due to manufacturers always going with the cheapest touch sensors they could get away with.

- makomk 13y agoYeah, as far as I know mainstream Android hardware has supported multi-touch all the way back to the original G1, it's just that no-one dared do anything with it due to Apple's patents.
