Video: coder whips up working multitouch demonstration on T-Mobile G1

by Darren Murph posted Jan 12th 2009 at 12:54PM

Ryan Gardner did wonders when he proved that multitouch was a real possibility on the G1, and now Sir Luke Hutch has taken things one giant leap further. Put simply (or as simply as possible), 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. Go where you must -- it's like a choose-your-own-adventure book, but for nerds.

Wait, when weren't choose-your-own adventure books for nerds? Saying "it's like a choose-your-own-adventure book, but for nerds" is like saying "it's like jock strap, but for dudes."

You forgot the a in "it's like "a" jock strap, but for dudes". Besides which is very insensitive to the she-males or gender challenged of the world.

I noticed the missing "a" after I submitted the comment, but that's a pretty minor oversight. Still, I guess my editing skills are lacking. And no offense meant to those she-males or gender-challenged. But really, how many of them wear jock straps?
