More on Leo Multitouch

October 30, 2009 | By l3v5y

Seeming everyone wants a bit of multitouch action (I’m not a huge fan as I like to use a device one handed) and because I have too much time, and not enough to do, I’ve got a little list of applications that should be using multitouch.

It seems to be implemented in a similar method to the Zoom Wheel on the Diamond/Raphael and the Zoom Bar on the Rhodium/Topaz, which gives me some hope of access to a lower level of multitouch data.

Under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SmartTouch], there is a list of applications (this might not be complete as I’m going from a lot of separate files, rather than what it actually is on a device). So far, I’ve found the following:

Internet Explore
Word Mobile
Outlook Email
Notes
Excel Mobile
Opera Browser
Album

Though interestingly, in a different place, one finds

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\TouchFLO\Pinch\BlackList\HTCAlbum]
"ProcName"="HTCAlbum.exe"

Which seems to indicate that it’s not handling “Pinch” gestures like other programs.

If anyone has a Leo and feels like trying some things out for me, drop me a message on XDA-Developers, or Twitter.

I played with Leo, and I noticed that MP3 Trimmer, Radio FM and some other applications could be zoomed also.

did the whole interface zoom in?

Yes, whole interface zoom in

thanks, that surely means that almost all apps are zoom-able

As HTC said, you should get a version that does that in early 2010…

unfortunately phones are the only thing we get first.

Eh… I'd take an HD2 over pretty much anything else right now… Possibly not an offer from Cambridge though

You'll like it in Cambridge if you do get in – HTC is fairly popular here in my experience, although there are some iFans too…

I will wait for it to come here in the US…..my athena just died and now I'm in withdrawal mode…..maybe by then it will be a bit cheaper
