Real time strategy games, controlling multiple individual or group units. Controlling virtual faders on a sound or lighting desk.

This can be seen with the original company that Apple bought that was developing and selling multi-touch pads for desktop PCs. They had like 30 multi-finger gestures that you could customize, but otherwise required you to learn a whole new system. I think it would be a mistake to just implement that without clever organization and massive simplification.

*** I also believe that we need to find a compromise that recognizes Apple's and Microsoft's development (and the Fingerworks company they bought that own all the patents), but at the same time recognizes the universality of multi-touch gestures, and creates a new universal standard for gestures. We can't have every different smartphone manufacturer implementing different gestures with different functions. That would create a real nightmare for the average consumer and usability in general. I know it sounds unrealistic with Apple and MS involved, but perhaps all the contributing companies can pool their interface patents and then license the standard to everyone else. I don't think the Apple should be able to lock out everyone else on multi-touch gesturing.

Please. the Pre has the main basic apps down, i.e. the ones you will use the most. Sure, there are apps and definitely games that the pre needs, but that doesn't mean that there are "no apps worth multitasking." I would assume that the apps you use 75% of the time on your iphone/touch (NOT GAMES) are basic ones that the pre already has.]]>Jul 22nd 2009 11:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/synaptics-clearpad-3000-touchscreen-does-10-finger-capacitive-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/synaptics-clearpad-3000-touchscreen-does-10-finger-capacitive-m/
A rarely said fact. Thanks

And exactly, half the perceptual problem with battery life is that people are coming off clapped out black and white screen 5 year old phones that barely did SMS, I am sure it did last a week.

Personally the battery life of the iPhone is stellar and I imagine as equally stellar as the Pre or the G1. By stellar I refer to my personal comparison to my 3 prior 3G phones a Nokia, a Motorola and a LG. They had the need for daily charging, or at least every 2nd day to avoid going flat; the iPhone (and the others i assume) lasts the same time with heaps more screen and power sapping features all running. On top of that I use the iPhone a lot more than the prior phones, as would users of Pre and G1, simply because there is more things to use it for.]]>Jul 23rd 2009 12:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/synaptics-clearpad-3000-touchscreen-does-10-finger-capacitive-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/synaptics-clearpad-3000-touchscreen-does-10-finger-capacitive-m/Jul 22nd 2009 9:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/synaptics-clearpad-3000-touchscreen-does-10-finger-capacitive-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/synaptics-clearpad-3000-touchscreen-does-10-finger-capacitive-m/Jul 22nd 2009 12:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/synaptics-clearpad-3000-touchscreen-does-10-finger-capacitive-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/synaptics-clearpad-3000-touchscreen-does-10-finger-capacitive-m/Jul 22nd 2009 9:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/synaptics-clearpad-3000-touchscreen-does-10-finger-capacitive-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/synaptics-clearpad-3000-touchscreen-does-10-finger-capacitive-m/Jul 22nd 2009 10:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/synaptics-clearpad-3000-touchscreen-does-10-finger-capacitive-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/synaptics-clearpad-3000-touchscreen-does-10-finger-capacitive-m/Jul 22nd 2009 10:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/synaptics-clearpad-3000-touchscreen-does-10-finger-capacitive-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/synaptics-clearpad-3000-touchscreen-does-10-finger-capacitive-m/Jul 22nd 2009 11:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/synaptics-clearpad-3000-touchscreen-does-10-finger-capacitive-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/synaptics-clearpad-3000-touchscreen-does-10-finger-capacitive-m/]]>Jul 22nd 2009 12:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/synaptics-clearpad-3000-touchscreen-does-10-finger-capacitive-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/synaptics-clearpad-3000-touchscreen-does-10-finger-capacitive-m/Jul 22nd 2009 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/synaptics-clearpad-3000-touchscreen-does-10-finger-capacitive-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/synaptics-clearpad-3000-touchscreen-does-10-finger-capacitive-m/-Taylor]]>Jul 22nd 2009 2:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/synaptics-clearpad-3000-touchscreen-does-10-finger-capacitive-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/synaptics-clearpad-3000-touchscreen-does-10-finger-capacitive-m/Jul 22nd 2009 3:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/synaptics-clearpad-3000-touchscreen-does-10-finger-capacitive-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/synaptics-clearpad-3000-touchscreen-does-10-finger-capacitive-m/Jul 22nd 2009 6:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/synaptics-clearpad-3000-touchscreen-does-10-finger-capacitive-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/22/synaptics-clearpad-3000-touchscreen-does-10-finger-capacitive-m/Jul 22nd 2009 7:52PM
