however , fake multitouch is possible , you touch the screen at one point and then touch it at another point , the position of the second point can be calculated , given the first point remains staitionary .
example : for pinch zoom , you keep one finger stationary and move the other finger away from it , but if you move both fingers , nothing will be detected , the screen reports the average position of all points it's touched at , so moving 2 fingers away , the screen will return the same point (no motion detected)

anyways , this fake multitouch isn't used in any applications on the n900 , except maybe a demo of the idea on youtube.
Ahh well it was worth the thought. I wasn't to sure if that would be able to but looks like we can't. As for apps/games i've seen quite a few games on the TV that are advertise and its your thumbs using the controls onscreen. Saying all that I suppsode you could re-map them to the keyboard.
