Apple asked Google not to use multi-touch in Android

One of the biggest disappointments of the first Android-smartphone T-Mobile G1 was the lack of support for multi-touch technology.

According to an anonymous Android developer, it turned out that Google had abandoned this technology at the request of Apple. Thus, Google is trying not to spoil relations with Apple, as well as not to get into the patent war, which is likely to be between Apple and Palm.
