Multi-touch, ...

[Mark Eichin]

> Obviously multi-touch existed a few years ago (FingerWorks was around

Note that Apple *bought* FingerWorks for this technology, and
presumably the associated patents.  (I have some of the FingerWorks
keyboards, they're a great technology on the gesturing side, but as an
experienced touch-typist, they're *awful* as keyboards - I think the
tech are much more suited to the iPhone than it ever was for "normal"
keyboards, having tried both...)
