HTC Touch Diamond / Pro has hidden multi-touch feature!

Aug 20 HTC Touch Diamond / Pro has hidden multi-touch feature!
Found in:HTC, Multi-Touch, HTC Touch Diamond, HTC Touch Pro,

Like many HTC devices, it seems the Touch Diamond and Pro have hidden features, and pretty tasty ones indeed. If you own one probably you know that the navi-wheel on the front of the device is capacitive, and can measure movement without actually rotating. Now comes the interesting part. Using an application called Nav Debug Tool by HTC shows that the whole front of the device can track finger movements, and even two fingers independently, which makes it multi-touch!

So far there is no hack created to exploit the Touch Diamond/ Pro but I'm sure that some developers has already hands on the API and it wont be too long to create something interesting.

Here is how it works:

* The area around the navi-wheel is actually a capacitive touch-area with multi-touch
* it may allow using finger pinching gesture and finger spreading gesture (zooming for example) and also implement 2 finger moving for panning gesture for example too.
* Not all capacitive touch-areas are multi-touch at the same time!
* You can try it for yourself at XDA-Developers NavDbgTool.exe, you must have registered account there in order to download

* Here is the video showing the multi-touch capabilities:



I will be more than happy to have a word from you after experimenting with this very interesting feature.
