I think there is a difference between detecting a small/large area or detecting completely different positions on the screen... So my guess would be no...
I wouldn't think so either, but the data sheet for the touchscreen controller (TSC2301) doesn't mention anything about multi-touch. (Maybe I'm incorrect to think that it would...)
Looks like there is a temperature probe. Was that in the N800 too? I'm going to be disappointed if that's it. I'm sure they'll claim they went with that instead of a lightsaber simply due to space constraints.

Who said lightsaber isn't the egg? Just make sure you're facing it the right direction when you enable that feature.

Very funny. I don't know why you're joking - I'm still ticked at you for not telling us what you've found. (Or maybe it's just me who cares.)
Is it the RealTek RTL8150 chip, for USB<->Ethernet? I don't think that was in the N800. But I can't see the use of that feature, to be honest, since it defeats the purpose of a mobile device...

The N810 would be using multitouch if it could, trust me.
Multitouch doesn't really have anything to do with finger/stylus detection, detection is done by the pressure.

I would LOVE to have Ethernet over USB. There are a number of places I visit every day where wireless isn't available (security risk) but wired ethernet is available. If that new feature were available in the N810, I'd buy it despite my reservations about some of it's other changes. However, I don't know much about Ethernet over USB, but it seems like an odd feature to just stumble across while playing with the device which is what prosthetic seems to be implying.
It has Ethernet over usb (as does the 770, etc.) -> this implies that you attach a usb lead at both ends and it pretends to be an Ethernet adaptor at both ends (e.g. rndis).
What I think you're after is the ability to plug a usb Ethernet adaptor into the N8x0 and use it. Both the N880 (with OS2008) and the N810 appear to support this (usb host mode via OTG) from their dmesg outputs.
Edit: N800 not N880 - I can't see into the future I'm afraid!

Nice! I look forward to trying this out on my N800 when OS2008 comes out! I better go order one of those adapters.
