sure sounds like they are trying to patent prior art, doesn’t it?

The way I understand the difference is on the Apple the gesture or movement of the finger on the screen can cause different things to happen not just the location

I was making systems with touch screen interfaces from Elographics in 1989. The POS terminal business has used them for over 20 years. The only thing unique here is the n-finger gesture vs single point gesture.
