The Eee Pc was the first laptop to have a touchpad with more than two points of recognition. Then Apple released the Macbook Air with a Synaptecs multitouch touchpad...Which was the first Apple computer with true multitouch.

Also, Acer had two finger touch touchpads LONG before any Macbook did.

So far there's only been one patent found that's been awarded to Apple (or FingerWorks) for multitouch...and that's only regarding locking side to side movements when you scroll and free movement when you move around.

On the other hand Elantech has plenty. This one for example was filed in 1996...two years before Fingerworks was started...9 years before Apple bought them out..11 years before the iPhone...12 years before the Macbook Air.
