No Multi-touch on X10 mini, X10 mini pro, ever!

There had been some news of late that the XPERIA X10 mini will indeed be able to support multi-touch as it sported a ClearPad 2000 solution, which enabled dual touch, which is the basic form of multi-touch.

However, Sony Ericsson has put all rumours to rest and confirmed that they do not intend to implement multi touch on the X10 mini and X10 mini pro.


Timo Maassmann has confirmed the same on the Product blog:
I noted some of your comments asking for the multi touch support. Having shared our personal experiences using the new UI within our team, we just love it the way it is and think that multi-touch would actually just destroy the simplicity of using these products.  To avoid any speculation I can confirm that we do not have any intention to implement multi touch on X10 mini and X10 mini pro.
Multi-touch on small screens like the minis is pointless and would be more of a gimmick. However, I feel Sony Ericsson needs to start paying more attention to the feedback they get.

Just because they love something doesn’t mean consumers will.
