Gizmodo: Android Runs Multitouch on the G1, Really
By Art Duszynski • Jan 12th, 2009 • Category: Found ElsewhereThe good folks at Gizmodo pass along a video of multitouch working on a G1 running Android. It’s not perfect, but certainly usable. Nice work! Gizmodo says,
Like we’ve said before, Android really is quite promising. And I, for one, can’t wait until it’s done cooking (or at least until everyone stops fearing Apple’s multitouch patents). For those with G1s interested in duplicating this demo, Hutch has provided all of his software with full instructions on his site.
I’d agree. Great to see this progress. With news of Motorola and HTC coming out with Android-based phones this year, we’re looking at an exciting year for the little open source mobile OS.
