Multi-touch

[Guest qthaothao]

Hi, i am looking to buy a Acer Liquid or Motorola Milestone...

It seems Milestone is more polished system but i don't like the physical keyboard and it's £100 more expensive.

Has anyone know the ability of multi-touch function on Acer Liquid? or if any apps support it?

Thanks!

From what I've read on GSMArena, Droid packs multitouch out-of-the-box in EMEA region.

I believe this is to be a feature of Google Android 2.xx versions.

If it is the case, and only if it is, we should have this on our superb Liquids.

Otherwise, I doubt Acer will develop multitouch software support on its own.

Anyone know anymore ?

i think in recovery ot in boot.img or in user.config..it is possible to enable mutlitoiuch..HTC G1 can have multitouch, by default it wasnt shipped

Android 2.0 includes multi-touch support. See here:

I think once 2.0/2.1 come along, even if Acer do not add multi-touch support, other Apps including the Dolphin browser will be able use the SDK to do so.

Thanks! I think maybe I shall just wait until Jan. There are so many new phones coming next year. Hard to decide ;)

Anyone knows why we have to wait until January for version 2.0?

Is there an agreement between Motorola and Google to give the Android 2.0 only to Motorola for the rest of 2009?

i hope it's not the same case like the samsung galaxy, where it doesn't have the mult touch driver itself, even if it had a capacitive touch screen...

but with that said, how can HTC hero have multi-touch support even if it's running 1.5 only?

HTC enabled Multi-touch on the Hero as they are allowed, Google just refuses to do it as part of nativate software, but since HTC is using their Sense UI they can do basically whatever they want.
