Sony Ericsson’s XPERIA X10 Will Not Have Multi-Touch

Multi-touch is an enhancement to touchscreen technology, which provides the user with the ability to apply multiple finger gestures simultaneously onto the electronic visual display to send complex commands to the device. It was truly popularized by the iPhone, which allowed users to pinch, zoom and other commands by using two fingers. However, it has been unclear as to if the XPERIA X10 would ever have multi-touch. Sony Ericsson product manager Rikard Skogberg has stated on the official Sony Ericsson product blog, “there’s no multitouch in X10 – and I also can confirm that it’s not only related to SW but also to HW. Despite this, for future updates of X10 we are of course working on other solutions for e.g. zooming, which has been requested frequently on this blog, such has the solution demoed on X10 mini.”
