The HTC Diamond's hidden multi-touch feature |
Ó
While it's not directly marketed and advertised on the box or in the manual, the HTC Diamond and Pro actually supports multi-touch capabilities. The feature isn't fully used right out of the box though, and you'll be requiring something called the Nav Debug Tool - a file called NavDbgTool.exe.
Using this program, the entire touchpad becomes multi-touch sensitive, meaning, it allows two-finger input at the same time. Check out the video below for a bit of demonstration:
It's strange why HTC hadn't blatantly advertised this capability right at the get-go, but probably it's because it's still in early development. This, of course, leads us to assume that future firmware updates and programs will probably exploit this hidden feature, thereby making it a worthier contender to the epic iPhone.

the title of this article is very misleading.
from what we can see from the video, the screen does NOT have multi-touch capability.
Under the screen are the touch sensitive navigational controls, which seem to actually be one big touch pad. This is the area that can interpret multi touch. It is interesting considering it is just used for touch sensitive buttons and the scroll wheel.
