Full Working MultiTouch on the T-Mobile G1 Android Phone

					2010-01-06 My multi-touch code ported to Eclair
My multi-touch controller code has been ported to Eclair, enabling much simpler implementation of multi-touch apps on top of the new Eclair multi-touch api.  If you’re implementing MT apps, trust me, you don’t want to do it without this Java class 🙂
2010-01-05 What T-Mobile doesn’t want you to know, or the hidden cost of getting the Nexus One on contract
New blog post on the day of the release of the N1: beware that the cost of the Nexus One phone with T-Mobile, amortized over two years (i.e. total cost of ownership, TCO), is likely to end up amounting to quite a bit more than buying the phone outright and going to an off-contract plan.

2009-10-22 Hero kernel released; no multi-touch support
I just checked the Synaptics driver in the source code released today for the HTC Hero, and it appears that this kernel is *not* multitouch-enabled, unless they somehow included another Synaptics touch driver that I missed… so if you rebuild this kernel, you won’t get the multi-touch hack.
I strongly suspect HTC included my multi-touch code in the HTC Hero for pinch-scaling in the browser (and added it to the photo viewer) while they wait for official multi-touch support, though they never contacted me to say they were going to use it…
Now for my own tinfoil hat…
Just posted my theory that there is much more going on in the Google/Verizon deal than the release of a couple of cellphones.
UPDATE: Multi-Touch and more tinfoil hats
See my reaction here to the “newly confirmed” conspiracy theory that Google stripped multi-touch out of the G1 so that their relationship with Apple doesn’t go sour.
UPDATE: Zoom-Zoom-Zoom — Get full working multi-touch zooming on your T-Mobile G1 Phone today!
I previously posted a demo of multitouch working on the G1, but the code was not ready for prime-time.  Today it is finally ready.  Get multi-touch functionality on your G1 phone today!
(The original post about multi-touch on the G1 is here.)
Shameless plug: if you like or use this multi-touch work for Android, please donate to support continued development of awesome features for Android!
