I'm no fan of Apple but I think they have a point - they definitely had the multi-touch screen first and if they got a patent on it, that patent should be enforced. This isn't a patent on touchscreens, it's a patent on multi-touch touchscreens. I can't honestly believe some of the comments in this thread, if this patent win is upsetting you, I have a feeling you're going to be very upset indeed when HP gets memristors into PCs.
