Multi-touch coming to for Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, sort of

13 April, 2009
Thanks to the efforts of an ingenious third-party developer users will be able to enjoy multi-touch capabilities on the Symbian S60 5th, which originally lacks those. Starting off with a simple touch game...

          Thats easy to do if you only have a few fixed valid points to press.. Its way harder to determine where you are pressing if any point on the screen is valid!!!

            And how long has Nokia been around? LOL. How disappointing. Nokia fan boys should be ashamed.

                              Anonymous, 13 Apr 2009Ups, you hit the wrong tress man, nokia does all this thing... moreThe browser works that way because Nokia uses WebKit developed by Apple in their S60 browser, which is why the double tap to zoom also works on iPhone's making one handed use a breeze,

                                Does that mean you can change the product code on an S60 Samsung and go to the OvI store?

                                It might make an interesting challenge.
