Hi!
Great that S60 supports touch input! One question: Does it support multi-touch or only single touch input?
BR, Hans
Hans, currently the first S60 5th Edition device, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic supports single touch input. The touchscreen on the device is resisitive, meaning that you can use it not only with your finger, but also with a stylus.
