Multitouch on the T-Mobile G1: Proof of Concept Video

It’s a well-known fact that multitouch is not supported on the T-Mobile (NYSE: DT) G1. HTC and Google (NSDQ: GOOG) no doubt have the smarts and ability to punch this out, yet it remains unavailable. Thanks to the Open Source community however, (and developer Luke Hutchison in particular) a proof of concept (at the very least) video has come to light. As you’ll see in the video above, Luke has put together quite a nice multitouch hack for the G1. You can pinch and spread and flick to your hearts’ content.
Great work Luke. For more details, full instructions, issues and more… take a few minutes and hit up Luke’s blog. Thumbs up Luke!
Note: I love the ‘Zoom, Zoom, Zoom’ music used in those Mazda commercials.

Very nice. Funny thing about the music is that it’s actually a capoeira song – “capoeira mata um” means “capoeira kills one more”. Wouldn’t expect something that grim, eh?
