[maemo-developers] Nokia - lost second chance - another multitouch by Apple patented

[From: Darius Jack]

My dear friend,

I welcome your comments on multitouch howto.
I work in my spare time with one multitouch group in Japan, another in UK, one again in Sweden, not to say New York, MIT , UoT.
So multitouch in maemo works as it works.
I can use 2 fingers to move web page horizontally ( it works for semantic pages).
And once again.
It works without stylus with 2 fingers only.
Just have a try not guess.

This is just the reason for a subject line in my thread.
maemo by Nokia was very very close to multitouch interfacing
and still is.

I was really surprised to hear , some maemo developers try to close the multitouch thread not to let us sing one day
We are the Champions.

Multitouch is exactly about maemo development.

I am always impressed with intelligent high-tech gizmos, solutions, technologies.
Making maemo multitouch is still an open choice.
patent claims make set no special restrictions to development of
other multitouch solutions - interfaces.

We are the leaders. Aren't we ?
Visit my multitouch Microsoft surface computing Semantic Magazine to learn more about other multitouch technologies.
