Samsung: Android's Multitouch Not As Good As Apple's

itwbennett writes "Hoping to avoid a sales ban in the Netherlands, Samsung has said that Android's multitouch software doesn't work as well as Apple's. Samsung lawyer Bas Berghuis van Woortman said that while Apple's technology is a 'very nice invention,' the Android system is harder for developers to use. Arguing the bizarre counterpoint, Apple's lawyer Theo Blomme told judge Peter Blok, that the Android multitouch isn't inferior and does so infringe on Apple's patent: 'They suggest that they have a lesser solution, but that is simply not true,' said Blomme."

    Hmm, I think you're being facetious, but I have to free with your statement. My android has multitouch, and my hp laptop has two-fingered scrolling. But they,re a disastrous implementation and thoroughly unpleasant to use. O the other hand, on the MacBooks and iPads, multitouch is so smooth it's practically minority report. In my opinion.

    Oh, look! It's the "noh8rz" guy that's been steady trolling slashdot over year now. Notice the number 9 at the end. That's because this is the ninth noh8rz account as the rest were modded down to oblivion and he'd just start over with a new one. This guy does nothing but come on here and tell "reasonable sounding" lies. He usually gets by with it on a new account but eventually he can't help his true troll nature and the bullshit gets more and more ridiculous until the -1 mods start raining in. This guy does not have an Android device and has rarely said anything even remotely complimentary to the OS. He is a fake and should be modded and ignored as such.

    Mod this noh8rz9 guy down!! He pretends to have an Android device to legitimize his trolling. He is a huge shill and has terrible karma on all the noh8rz{1-8} accounts. The account is an anti-Android mouthpiece and no matter what you are a fan of, nobody likes lies.
