Sony best Apple with five-finger MultiTouch display
Sony has taken Apple’s two-fingered MultiTouch and raised them to five, meaning that we could soon see devices from the Japanese giant that recognise all the digits of a user’s hand. Unlike the Apple system, as featured on the iPhone and the iPod Touch, which can track either one finger for selection or dragging, or two fingers for zooming control, the Sony LCD panel is an identical size (3.5-inches) but is able to differentiate between up to five different points of contact or, alternatively, a stylus.
