multitouch is quite helpful for gaming, and it does allow for certain interface approaches not possible with single touch

I support anything that adds choice and features (and hackability) to the n900.
I don't get why this is used as capacitive vs resistive battleground.
You're not losing resistive screen on n900. You're getting the possibility of using capacitive screen on n900.
ps: check out Atmel maxtouch.
That and few people are going to have the skill to do it.
tl;dr: you might be able to hack one on, but good luck finding the parts and doing it in a way that isn't totally rickety.

here's an example of resistive multitouch: http://www.viddler.com/explore/engadget/videos/292/

And by rickety I mean "you wouldn't want to carry it in your pocket anymore," in which case you'd be better off doing it with a Beagleboard.

Do we have access to all hardware features with the current touchscreen driver or is it like with the camera and FCam?

ps: check out Atmel maxtouch.
Though it'd be pretty pointless considering any developer would only write software for a resistive device (unless he/she also modded their screen). And even with Meego or NITDroid you'd have to find a group of people who also modded their N900s (unless for vanilla Meego you can just grab some multi-touch functionality from another type of image).

Which will also result in using multitouch multiple
times for certain zoom factors.
In that case there is no difference to buttons or other zoom
utilities.
Correct?
