We’re still not sure whether multitouch capability will be making its debut on the Android 2.0 operating system in due time, but the following firmware update from the Eclair branch could point towards such an implementation. After all, HTC did include their own multitouch functionality into the HTC Hero, while other notable programmers with the technical know-how also managed to do so themselves. Well, guess we can only find out when the first Android 2.0 devices start to seep into the marketplace, and frankly, having multitouch would increase the desirability of owning an Android phone instead of the other fruity one.

Android Android is mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license.
