i saw this post last night and it made me smile.
maxximus, you are right - keep up with your investigations and see what comes of them.

i did this kind of multitouch stuff a while back in liqbase and in the library its now integrated into every mouse event.

however, its not working quite as well as the other normal mouse events, theres some outside boundary cases (relating to pressure differentials between fingers) where the object under finger responds erratically and so I haven't pushed it.
i have however attempted to use it in various places and will continue to do so.

glad you are doing it in qt

here is a vid from my prototype on the n810

btw, you can do rotation effects better because of the way you get a beam of points between your fingers.
