The first "multitouch" application for Nokia 5800, using only software tricks, can now be downloaded. The software, developed by Jamie Fuller, is an application similar to the popular Guitar Hero and it brings a kind of multitouch solution to the first Series 60 Touch handset, which features a resistive display. The game, called Space Dancer, is still under development and can be downloaded for free from the developer's site and can be seen in function on the video below. The software-simulated multitouch function, used in the game, is not the same as Apple iPhone's hardware solution, as here only the simultaneous tapping of predefined zones is detected, the requirement being that all zones need to have a completely unique vertical or a horizontal coordinate.
