Video: coder whips up working multitouch demonstration on T-Mobile G1
Engadget — ... he has figured out a way to demonstrate full working multitouch on a stock T-Mobile G1, and he even provides the video to prove it and a list of instructions for developers to follow suit. For those just casually interested, the vid after the break is apt to be enough to get your saliva flowing, but for the hardcore data snoopers in the crowd, the incredibly lengthy read link is where it's at.

For those with G1s interested in duplicating this demo, Hutch has provided all of his software with full instructions on his site. [Luke Hutch via phandroid] ...

Real multi-touch (and limitations) demo’d on the G1
CrunchGear — ... easy to install for users, but is not technically a very low-level one. In fact, the kernel is already working in multitouch, it’s just in another interface layer that the extra information is discarded. So the hack sends the info around that layer’s protections and to a demo application. So it’s still not a consumer app, but it’s getting a lot closer, I’d say in six months we’ll have a solution capable of being installed by a grandma. [via Phandroid]
