I was thinking about multitouch and its present use that is made of it in the iPhone…
My opinion is that multitouch as it is used now is like playing a piano with only one finger… There are many possibilities of gesture and only a few of them are used (pinch for example)… I think that the thing will evolve when a device with a much bigger screen be available (Mac Tablet ?). On an iPhone screen is impractical to use more than two finger… you cover too much content and you don’t see what you are doing…
Another issue will be to standardize gestures… or how to let users be acquainted with them…
Having a bigger screen could permit to use fingers from both hands even if from an ergonomic perspective you have to solve the problem of holding the device in your hands… (Double side multitouch input with trasparent overlay on screen of your fingers position?)
Hope we will soon see something really new from Apple…
