Multi-touch is all well and good but until now it's only been of any use when using two fingers at a time - y'know, like on iPhones when you zoom in or out of photos?
Finally the boffins have woken up to the fact that we have ten fingers (if you include thumbs, and I do!) - we'll soon be seeing screens on mobile phones that can recognise ten inputs at the same time...
...not quite sure how one can use all ten and still hold a phone comfortably, but I'm sure these boffins will find a way!

what are you going to do with 10 fingers that you can't do with 9?

I don't know about you but I don't think I could fit anything as big as 8" in my pocket!
(Oh and great minds think alike!)

I was just about to post about this :)
I think it could certainly be good on larger screen, the article mentions sizes of up to 8 inches but i think even bigger screens would make 10 point multitouch a really interesting prospect
