Also fun stuff like two fingers swiped left or right to change tabs or go back or forward (while one finger still lets you scroll around). That's something i want to see implemented on the iPhone! -Taylor
Usually I try to keep a fine line between iphone and HTC, because they are both great, but I'm tired of people seeing the Touch as an 'iphone' clone, which I'm convinced it's not.
Anyhow, to get examples of what multi-touch can do for you for a handset, you should youtube iPhone pinching and also take a look at the Microsoft Surface. It's not a mobile device, but gives you some ideas what you can do with a multi-touch interface. There are also tons of youtube videos of other mutli-touch interfaces that are custom built or built for other devices instead of Apple and Microsoft.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Can anyone give an example of some of the applications of multi-touch functionality?
Zoom in by bringing your fingers together, zoom out by moving them apart, rotating items by rotating the position of two fingers.
Rotate? Looking forward to the first Rotary dialer UI for this phone...

Two-fingered gestures (not that kind) would be awesome. Thanks for your replies, mates.
