I was on GSMArena today and was reading an article about the new Symbian^3 that said:
"Multitouch is finally making its way to the Symbian platform - both on capacitive and resistive displays."

If Nokia has multitouch working on resistive screens for it's Symbian OS, do you think that they will bring that to the N900 in future firmware updates or in MeeGo?

it is not possible on the N900 due to hardware limitations

Wow... I'm impressed. Is it possible on the n900? That's as in, how different is the touchscreen on this to the HTC and do they produce similarly read outputs?

I'm guessing that math(s) (damn incrrect spelling!!) isn't going to be commonknowledge though and the code won't be open source...

So, anyone got a maths phd?!

to all (I'm the author of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNTsIut1h98):

this is extremely simple and common knowledge, Engadget simply failed in posting that as some kind of revelation. There are even scientific papers on this topic (including some more advanced techniques for recognizing this kind of gesture).

In short: it is not comfortable to use this technique for pinch to zoom (is someone reaaally wants to try this, PM me), as the problem is that we have two moving points. However, if we think about using that for one fixed point and one moving point, the usecase can be interesting.

Think about this:


Where the big circle is an analog stick and buttons are.. well buttons If the pseudo-multitouch it is easy to be able to control the analog stick and SIMULTANEOUSLY discover press of the button. Which would be nice control in the games.

not sure if many ppl have tried this....pinch to zoom-out works in angry birds as well....it enables you to see the full pitch on the n900 screen...it is not as smooth but works....
