Will software patents stop us having multitouch?

I recently came across this blog post which, interesting explains that the
Android G1 is *capable* of multitouch but chose not to use it for some
reason - some suggest, for fear of litigation from Apple.

I don't live in the USA so it may not be such an issue for me but it could
still cause problems for Openmoko...

What are your thoughts?
