PatentMonkey.com has a very negative outlook on the future of multi touch (at least as it pertains to Apple). If anything, it is worth a read to see some of the areas multi touch technology needs to work on to have a better chance of success.

We won’t spoil the read with the explanations, but here are the 6 points that are brought up:

  1. Typing is not a multi touch process
  2. Multi touch isn’t being extensively used today
  3. Multi touch requires computational resources
  4. Pictures and movies won’t be edited
  5. Voice recognition is the future
  6. Greasy nasty finger marks

Lets just say, we do not think the article makes too many accurate points, but have a read for yourself.
