Hack Your iPhone into a Mouse for your PC
So I was doing some digital doodling last night and I was thinking to myself “I wonder if someone has made their iPhone into a mouse for their PC”… And of course before I could even finish that thought I see a link about some guy that tweaked his iPhone to connect to a server that allows his phone to act as a wireless mouse.
Sound unbelievable! Check it out for your self!
Thinking about finally pwning your iPhone: read more
Check out the comments that the guys make on his site…Are you serious! Make the track pad like the new apple track pads.. Um Last I heard the iPhone is not a multi-touch device yet.. Give em a inch and they take a yard.

Uh … the iPhone and iPod Touch _are_ multitouch devices. Have been since day one — it was one of their selling points; The Steve kept going on about it at the iPhone keynote. Up to 5 fingers are recognized at once.

Up to 5 fingers are recognized at once. Have you never used the pinch feature in Photos or Safari or Google Maps? Two-finger scroll in some dialog boxes on iPhone-formatted websites with embedded scroll boxes? Give it a try sometime…

yes you are right and I know that you could do that.. But I kind of meant multi-touch as in run and start other apps at the same time…I confused myself..But thanks

It’s possible though. Apple’s latest patent filing (http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/19/apple-patent-hints-at-advanced-multitouch-features-iphone-cop/) lists new multi-touch gestures, some of which could see their way to the iPhone and iPod Touch.
