With the rise of the iPhone and the soon to be released Windows 7 it seems touchscreens are all the rage and everyone wants to get in on the act.
Step forward Mozilla Firefox, who have just shown off a multitouch (AKA iPhone) version of the best browser out there.
"Firefox can already be controlled with multi-touch gestures -- a three-finger sweep up or down for going to the top or bottom of a Web page, for example, or two-finger pinch gestures for zooming out. But Felipe Gomes, a Brazilian computer-science student who has just finished a stint as a Mozilla intern, has demonstrated how Web-based applications -- not just Firefox -- can use multi-touch.
His demonstration shows multi-touch controls for shrinking and enlarging icons, painting, selecting a region of a photo, and playing Pong."
