The hardware supports a limited multitouch sort of by chance.

I had tried the builtin virtual keyboard and found it barely better than nothing, but nowhere near as good as the physical keyboard. I was reluctant to try Better Keyboard but it turned out so good that I wondered if Google would incorporate many of its features into some later version of Android, maybe even buy rights to it if not just plain copy. -- ... _._. ._ ._. . _._. ._. ___ .__ ._. . .__. ._ .. ._.
