Still, the only widely available multitouch technology is Apple's iPhone... but the future looks good.

By the way multi-touch is just one aspect of advanced touch sensors. Another critical aspect is 'dual force'. Locating/navigating with mutiple-touch is straight forward and simple but activating by just exerting more pressure requires a great deal more intelligent creativity. While I am at it, how about relative positioning? MS demonstrates fingers touching a fixed keyboard, so what. The real solution is the keyboard moves with the fingers. Now your fingers are the keys.
