yeah multi touch by apple had been speculating since 2005 when o2 released their great pdas
apple called all their designers to come up with a multi touch interface so as to avoid the hassles of the using a pointer(whatever they call it?).
what's great abt the interface is that it obeys intentional commands or touches & ignores the stray touches by your fingers.
apple must have spent lot of hardwork for that interface.
it is as revolutionary as its click mouse & click wheel(in the ipod).

There are a lot of great things about Multi-touch:
1. It works like magic.
2. You don't need a stylus.
3. It's far more accurate than any touch display that's ever been shipped.
4. It ignores unintended touches, it's super smart.
5. You can do multi-finger gestures on it.
But this thing about Apple displays coming with Multi-touch is just a rumour and it might not be true. However, I desperately hope it is! *us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/105.gif

1.Stop the MAC bashing all the time buddy, It works - ok agreed....but everything Apple does - doesn't have to be MAgiC, it is ok to be a MAC.
3. It has not come into the market, people have not used, needn't make such comments like it is far more accurate than touch pad...wait a while let it be in the market..jaldi kya hai baba
4. Fine it ignores the unintended touches, even the general DUMB touchscreen ignore unintended touches if you lock the screen....
5. ya ya you can Finger it a lot, big deal windows will copy it in it's next version

First of all, all of these are the features advertised by Apple. I am not saying that I have used it or anything.
And there is something called exaggeration. It is often used to underscore how great or how stupid something is. If I say that someone is as dumb as a rock, it does not mean that he is actually a rock.
Are you serious or was that meant to be a joke! If it is the latter, you sure have succeeded in making me laugh.
It is akin to saying, "Fine, Macs never crash, even general DUMB PCs do not crash if you turn them off...."!
It ignores unintended touches when the screen is not locked. It automatically switches off the screen when you are talking to someone.
And if you are tired of my 'MAC bashing' or whatever, you really do not need to read my posts or reply to them. I assure you, I won't mind.
I never bash Macs. Why should I? I love Macs.hailgautam said:

But I have seen videos and read reviews of people who have used it and all of them seem to indicate that it works as advertised.hailgautam said:

Which only goes to prove that it is indeed a great feature.hailgautam said:

1. Oh, So you were in exaggeration mode.......... and not bashing .........fine suites me..
3. Yes of course I have also seen a few, if not many videos and seem to be working the way they intend it to work, but all that I was trying to say that let it come out in the market....come out.
4. Lock the screen as in Disable the screen touches when not in use, not shut down, ya it is funny to think that to disable the phone one would shut down it completely..
5. Yes agreed yes man I did.....
ha ha not bothered at all of "your mac bashing" or what every you call it please continue.... all i was trying to participate in a discussion and putting my opinion about it, and please don't mind either...

I would really love to see multi-touch on other devices, though I strongly think that Apple would keep it exclusive to the iPhone, at least for some years.
aryayush is right. I haven't used it, but the people who have, agree that it 'works like magic' as Jobs said on this year's MacWorld Expo.
LOL! iPhone ignores unintended touches even when it's not in the locked mode. Since the iPhone responds only to your skin, you get deadly accuracy. As aryayush said, a proximity sensor on the iPhone disables the touch screen when brought close to your face (thus preventing accidental touches).
Isn't this talk about multi-touch? It's patended, so nobody but Apple can use it.

Yeah, I forgot to mention it. It is patented and no one can copy it unless they want to be sued.
Of course, if someone wants multi-touch on their phone, they can always contact gx_saurav. He will hack your phone's firmware or simply modify the operating system and lo, you'll have multi-touch.

Apple does not have a tablet pc type mac, so it would be a nice idea to have something in that category, that too with some great new features..
