What is the deal with Android and Multitouch? I assumed this would have been implemented long ago.
This is something I am looking for in my next phone. Now if the release version of 2.1 does not include it, but assuming they do add it in lets say 6 months on Android 2.5 with some new touchscreen. Will that be pushed in an OTA update to the Nexus One and Droid, which hardware does support multitouch? Or would I at least be able to flash the rom onto my nexus one?
I don't mind that my phone can't do something when no other android phone can. But I don't want to be limited.
I guess to sum up my question, With a hardware capable multitouch screen, Is it just a matter of an update (software? firmware?) to get it to work in browser and google maps? Or do you think they will make it somehow not backwards capatible and we will just need to get a new phone?
