Android 2.0 was just released and it now includes support for up to 3 simulations touches. That probably more than enough for any smart phone, but it may be a bit skimpy for larger devices. Still, its great to see the MotionEvent included with support for touch for those devices that have touch screens.The first device to officially support Android 2.0 is Sprint's new Droid, which was just announced today and should be available November 6th. While the screen on Droid is touch enabled I don't think its multi-touch and at this point I'm not sure if any multi-touch applications for Android 2.0 are available, but I'm sure that will change soon enough.
One aspect of Droid I really like is the different docking devices. When you place the device into the Car doc it automatically changes into a turn-by-turn navigation system. When you place it in the home doc it turns into an alarm clock and multi-media center. Pretty cool. Lots of other great features like voice activated search.
