Hi guys.
I've had sarah (my Nokia 6020) since God-knows-when (!), and so I'm not familiar with the modern cell phones and their characteristics.
I really like X10, but its lack of multi-touch is a little annoying, and some friends have told me to buy a phone which supports multi-touch.
I wanna know what exactly I will miss if I buy X10 and ignore its lack of multi-touch? Is it only important in games? How frequently games use multi-touch and is it impossible to play multi-touch games in X10?
Thanks.
Hi - Basically - it's only certain games which really need to use multitouch.. ones where you have to do 2 things at once.. there are some options to overcome this in certain cases, such as using a Wii Remote paired with your phone.. Personally I am not bothered at all about the lack of multitouch, because there are lots of games you can get which don't need MT... There are many good reasons to get one which, for me at least far outway the lack of MT.
At first I was hesitant to buy the X10 cuz it didn't support MT as well. It's a big step for me cuz I've never used a smart phone before but I do know lots about it lol. To be honest, I really don't think multi touch is an important feature, unless you're really into games that needs it. I've had the X10 for almost a month now and I absolutely love it there are great games in the App store that doesn't need multi touch like Radiant, Abduction, Totemo, etc etc. You should definitely get Rachael, you won't be disappointed
Not really, but there is talk about that in 2.1, but we don't talk about that here... MT is a taboo topic

lack of mt is quite bad for gaming. example game like pspxdroid for playing pspx game and other action game. the point is a problem is a problem if u think is a problem. if you really want a phone with mt , end of the day it just going to come and hunt you if u get a x10 if u dun mind wait for 2.1 and see is there mt which some said there is, if not you can get desire or galaxy s which both are great phone.
Do you use your phone to call people...?
I do, and I don't need multi-touch for that.
If you're coming from an old dumb-phone, either you don't need multi-touch, or you're expecting your new phone to change your life in ways you never thought possible.
Trust me, the x10 will not change your life in ways you never thought possible, and no, you don't need multi-touch...
Thank you everyone, your opinion is really helpful.
Considering the fact that I'm a gamer, I think MT will be needed for me someday, but I understand I shouldn't overvalue it.
Why is it making a decision about a cell phone to buy is so hard? It's a lot easier with PCs, laptops, wives, Digicams, MP3 Players, ...
I studied a lot about X10 and MT and I'm almost certain that there will be no MT for X10 (SE made it clear 5-6 days after the rumor about MT in 2.1 started).
Ah, and every phone has its pros and cons and it makes no sense to consider them as "taboo".

there have also been reports of the touch panel manufacturers saying that they can enable MT on their ST pad with trickery too.
so i wouldnt believe anything anyone says for now. and just wait.
but if you are a 'gamer' then buy a psp or something.. its a mobile phone not a console/gaming pc
The point is that multitouch for as i know is used in web browsers and in games.Someone correct me if i am wrong.So if you would like to play the you should buy a PSP or Nintendo or whatever portable console, for more than one reason. My PSP's battery for example lasts up to 5 hours of intense gaming, and you still have the phone for calling, internet and so on.The control is better on the handheld console with or without multitouch.
But... since almost all smartphones have multitouch it whould be nice to have this feature even if i would not use it often.
So the bottom line is that i have a PSP for gaming so i really do not need the multitouch feature.
I'm playing Diablo 1 on psx4droid and haven't noticed any problems so far (except laggy video and sound stuttering which seems to be common for most devices). Good native android games are yet to come. If you're looking to play some decent games now, then go for PSP.
And by the way, HTC also stated there will be no mt for G1 so we shall see...

I guess none of the above. Why would they bother with adding custom driver if the device was Synaptics compatibile?

Does your wife know she's third in your list, eh? Lmfao!
The lack of hardware support for MT if true is a puzzling omission on the part of SE. The IPhone has had MT I think since the beginning & to leave out the feature from a flagship product is a fumble on SE's part IMO.
The phone over all is a great device even without MT but if gaming is a priority for you I would take a pass on the X10, & look for a device that supports MT not one that may support it.
Guys, please...
Of course I have a PSP!
But, 2 things make me care about my phone's gaming potential too:
1. I don't always carry my PSP around, and even if I have it, I can'y play with it everywhere (I am 30 years old )!
2. PSP is a very old device and its games are mostly the same with phone games, without touch controls. I don't think PSP is that much better than a phone for gaming (a lot of my friends have the same opinion).
I generally don't like the idea that it's a phone ==> if you need something else from your phone go buy something else...
I can't carry around a lot of gadgets...

You're gonna envy me about this: I don't have a wife! LMFAO too.
i fully agree with you i also dont carry psp with me every time.
please
I really wish the multi-touch.
many developers listen to me.
althogh i don't well grammer,but you will understand my opinion.
love x10mini,love x10mini developrers.
Thank you~~!
In short: Never
In long: Xperia X10 mini digitizer supports ONLY 1 finger, it means only one finger touch will be registred correctly. You have to get used to with faked dual touch.
Also, you are under from subforum and please...use a damn search.
If multitouch means 2 fingers to you, then check this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009008&highlight=dual+touch
But if you want 3 fingers or more, it's currently not available
OH, and tell me, WHY DO YOU NEED MORE THAN 2 FINGERS???
You can pinch and zoom, play emulators, etc.
Unless you're playing pocket legends hardcore and really wanna damage your phone
hey all, i saw theres been a massive price cut on the xperia play, and i can afford it so, is it worth me selling my x10 and getting a play? is it that much better than x10? What about build quality and stuff?
also, with the play being a psp (what i want, i play games, listen to music, text and watch movies so) are the games .iso's or .apk's? basically im wondering if the psp side of it is an app or another OS. because id like to be able to run backups of my old games on it, i have them stored on my computer from when i dumped my old UMD games. so are the games on the play .apk's or .iso's and what is used to launch into the psp mode of the phone, an app or is it a native second OS?
thanks
stephen
I don't know if im really qualified to answer these questions but ill try since, I have an x10 that have xperia play launcher and my best friend got an xperia play. I know most of the games for xperia play are iso converted to apks but if you search right on the forums you'll find roms and app that can run iso's on the play. My buddy got that rom and can even run n64 games on the play so if you really like gaming, it's the phone to go for just battery life is very poor when gaming, that's normal. Hope I answer your question
id like to ask does everyone think its worh it for £150 brand new?
as well as a response to my previous questions. thanks

Just emailed the developer. He/she can't do anything about it for now. Too bad great game.
I remember reading that the only problem we have is that the game recognizes us as an actual Tablet, one of the smaller ones though, and I can't imagine that it would be very difficult for them to fix that, but I guess they have other priorities.
EDIT : STILL NOT FIXED (can someone play the game with a ParanoidAndroid tablet rom ?)

+ Many users can't join online games after buying the humble bundle version of the game ... plus Trendy Entertainment seems to have dropped support for mobile version of the game...
Hello,
I wanted to know if the problem was fixed before buying the humble bundle which includes second wave :

Hey there guys! I want to buy a Sony Xperia U and I am not sure if it has a gyroscope. I tried to google it, but some sites say it has, some say it hasn't, so I am asking you. From what I know from my iPhone, some newer games require a gyro (such as Real Racing 3, Minion Rush,etc.). Does this apply to Android devices or are all the games compatible with it?

No gyro, but it has an accelerometer, which is probably sufficient to play these games (Sorry I don't play them, so I cannot confirm for sure.).
