I used multi-touch only once or twice but it seemed to work as expected in maps and browser on my N1.
When i first got multitouch on the G1 i was pretty much underwhelmed, everyone with an iPhone told me "but it doesn't do multi touch!". And then? What i never thought of.. Why would i want to use two hands to operate my mobile when every app has good means to zoom, etc. with only one hand. Most overrated feature on phones nowadays, imo.
I guess others use multi touch a lot.. but well.. for me..
Anyway, how do i see this non-working multi touch in a real app, again?
Because.. well, if this bug would be as bad as the movie makes it look like, a test at HTC would have found it instantly before production.
I'm using Cyanogen's ROM too, and I don't think it helps. Run the Spare Parts app and select Pointer Location. If you touch the screen in two places and move them around it's pretty easy to get it to report bogus locations.
It's a hardware limitation. The touchscreen used in the N1 is a Synaptics ClearPad 2000 (http://www.synaptics.com/solutions/products/clearpad) which is capable of dual-touch at best (can't really differentiate the two fingers).
