Multi-touch: HTC Diamond's Hidden Feature

Multi-touch: HTC Diamond's Hidden Feature

Techtree News Staff, Aug 22, 2008 1200 hrs IST

This hidden feature has opened the floodgates for many developers who can leverage the multi-touch features supported in Windows Mobile 7 and develop applications for it.

HTC's Touch Diamond and wannabe Touch Pro owners have a reason to rejoice. The navigation wheel in front of both the models is said to be capacitive (just touch like on iPhone) and could track finger movements which opens the possibility of multi-touch features. According to a video posted, the HTC Touch Diamond showed multi-touch functionality while using an application called Nav Bebug Tool from HTC. Basically, one can leverage the possibility of using the navigation wheel with the multi-touch function.

This hidden feature has opened the floodgates for many developers who can leverage the multi-touch features supported in Windows Mobile 7 and develop applications for it. Touch Diamond owners can get to know more about such hidden tools by checking the XDA Developers wiki here.
