Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 with multitouch.. NOT!

We previously caught rumor that there will be update for Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 to support multitouch when X10 finally got OS 2.1 update in September. Apparently this news is basically just rumor since Sony Ericsson North America, via its twitter account, encounter this issue by stating that Xperia X10 will NOT support multitouch. Multitouch is still not a core feature in X10. This should be a disappointing news for X10 fans.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 to receive an update on September, adds multi-touch capability

According to mobiles.co.uk, on the second half of 2010, probably around September, the X10 will have a very 'big' update and guess what... it will also include the multi-touch capability. This is really surprising, especially the multi-touch capability. Previously, we already know that the X10 will never support the multi-touch due to hardware related issue, but if the news is true, then the X10 is only having a software related issue. My bet is, on September, the X10 will eventually receive the Android 2.1 (which will allows the multi-touch) update its been longing for, but the real question is, will it receive the Android 2.1 OR will it receive the newer Android update? assuming that Google has released their newest Android update, Froyo. We'll just have to wait and see..

Sony Ericsson XPeria X10 does not have multi-touch capability

Because of issues related to hardware, Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 will never support the multi-touch features. AndroidAndMe site also tells this story and this seems true.

Sony Ericsson X10 not able to adopt multitouch technology, is not only a constraint on the hardware, but also the software it uses does not support those features. Xperia X10 running Android operating system 1.6, which does not have an API to support these functions.

Sony Ericsson has said previously that the device will receive updates to the Android 2.1. Because Android 2.1 has the necessary APIs to support multi-touch, but with limitations of hardware it has, X10 still can not support this feature even if done a little hack to it.
