Multi-touch Used To Get Expose On The HTC Hero

on 02/11/2010, filed in Home > CellPhones

While Google Nexus One and Motorola Droid users have been clamoring to get their hands on the multi-touch update for said phones, it seems that the HTC Hero has been hacked to allow multi-touch to work on it. The best part is that it isn’t some simple pinch and zoom deal that’s found on pictures and maps, this multi-touch hack was used to come up with an ExposÃ©-like function of all the widgets that you have open, allowing you to easily change your focus to that widget. Is this the brainchild of some hobbyist, or is HTC really planning to offer such a cool feature? Check out the product for yourself if you’re interested in multi-touch.
