Sony Ericsson confirms no multitouch for X10 mini


X10 mini proSony Ericsson has confirmed that it has no intentions to implement multitouch gestures on either the X10 mini or X10 mini pro. This is despite the fact that the X10 mini may have the hardware capable of at least dualtouch gestures such as pinch-and-zoom.

Timo Maassmann from the SE Product Blog says that enabling multitouch on the X10 mini handsets would “destroy the simplicity” of using them. Instead, he extols the work that has been done on the UI to make one-handed operation as easy as possible. This includes the four corner shortcuts as well as zooming in and out of pictures using your thumb. Check out a video highlighting this after the break.

  1. one-hand zoom in and zoom out! thats cool! i’ll take that over apple’s multitouch.
    actually i think that’s a lot better than pinch2zoom. Android should patent this.

  2. I HATE THAT SE say’s that, just put multitouch in in it! the people want this to play games !!!!!!!

  3. @waiting4x10onATT Idiots like you need to read up. Apple DOES NOT OWN MULTITOUCH! That hardware was there way before apple put it on their phones. What apple patented was certain gestures using multitouch. Its practically impossible to patent the whole multitouch because the term is too broad and there are so many different ways to do it…
