Google's mobile phone is not multitouch, because Apple does not want

The main complaint from critics of the Android G1, the first mobile phone designed by Google, manufactured by HTC and distributed exclusively for the United States by the German T-Mobile, has already been answered: if this phone that wants to be the future is multi- touch, as if what is Apple's iPhone is only because the finder does not want to anger the company that runs Google Jobs.Estrategia Steve

It is considered multi-touch to any touchscreen phone that is able to process orders received from its sensors several fingers of the user ... at a time. That ability is what allows, for example, zoom in and zoom photos on an iPhone using the thumb and forefinger of one hand.

And no one understood well until now why Google had resigned to making your touch phone was also multi-touch. Now, a report in a specialized account how American's own brand of apple begged the Android development team that did not include this capability in the design of its new generation of mobile phones (which the G1 is just the first member .)

The main reasons why the giant gave information on the Internet without question appear to be two. First, both brands share the common goal to overthrow Microsoft. And second, that Apple is preparing a legal barrage against those who dare to use that technology in other devices.

Apple itself warned of the consequences in the final presentation of business results in a message that everyone understood that was directed at Palm, to use multi-touch technology in its new Intelligent Mobile Pre. "We will use every weapon at our disposal," said then one of its top officials.
