Fixing the Android

Sure, the Android is cool because it is open source and the OS is from Google.  Or something like that.  But the device isn’t perfect and users have been hoping for something better to come along.

Looks like you might not have to wait for new hardware – just a quick software hack – to meet your needs.  There are reports circulating of a hack to the OS and the browser software that now enables multi-touch on the screen.  Such capability has long been reported to be present in the hardware but software limited thanks to patent claims by Apple.  Looks like the hackes don’t seem to care too much about that.

This doesn’t make it perfect, but it is a nice improvement to the platform.

Happy hacking.
