I think it is a really useful feature.

anyone knows about this?
Yes, you can touch the screen with multiple things, including your finger, fingernail or stylus. Iphone doesn't have this feature tho, you can only touch that with your finger - bad when using gloves etc.

@andhika: no, the resistive screen on the n900 is not multitouch capable.

quingu, I was referring to the function where we can use two fingers to zoom in or zoom out for example.

hi ysss thanks a lot for your answer, I hope it could be changed to multi touch that I wanted.

btw you've missed type my name, I don't have N characters in my name. I'm sorry for being so ignorant

The N900 itself will never have multi-touch, as it's a hardware thing. Maybe future devices running Maemo will, although there's been no announcement about that.

one could draw a circle for same effect with n900 for example. what's the difference? yes, you don't have to do nothing special like bringing another finger on the screen.

Or you could use hardware keys for zooming (and double-click for zooming on paragrpahs in the browser). This is much more comfortable than trying to perform two-finger gestures while having to hold the phone with the other hand.

Chill out, guys no need to be unnecessarily defensive of resistive vs capacitive.. he only asked if the screen was multitouch capable or not. Nothing else..

@ossipena: 2 fingers gestures are arguably more precise and versatile as you can pan, scale and twist with 2 fingers all at the same time if the software supports it.

@pycage: btw, 2 finger gestures are mostly used by the 2 thumbs while holding.

I think you could, just not true multitouch. Libqbase has a multitouch like feature in the regard of mimicing pressing two inputs.

Thanks ysss, I don't mind if N900 doesn't follow the way iPhone does on zooming and other multi touch functionality.
I was just asking and hopefully any of you could explain the way we do zooming in N900, because I think the two fingers thing is something fun in iPhone.
