Wow. Four people really required to tell solid that there was multi-touching in the video. Don’t people read previous comments?

solid,
The expedia.com demo in the very middle of the video, certainly looks like multi-touch zooming. Commenting on that observation was the only reason I came out of Google Reader to the website. If this feature stays on the phone, are we going to have a patent war? If you like the nitty-gritty legalese, based on Palm’s use of multi-touch check out this article from gizmodo http://gizmodo.com/5142445/dissecting-apples-multitouch-patent-can-it-stop-palm

solid, in the video that guy used Multi-touch (two fingers) to ZOOM IN, watch video carefully. That’s awesome. Can’t wait to get multi-touch on my phone.

solid: Did you watch the video? He does indeed zoom in/out on a webpage with two fingers, just like on iphone. :)

double tap is not multitouch. Think along the lines of double click; 2 rapid taps in succession. Multitouch would be the ability to use both fingers as input at the same time. Incidentally, I think this the the perfect (possibly only) use for multitouch: simply put to fingers on the screen and spread them apart to indicate scaling the viewport.
