Gizmodo just released their guide to hacking the G1 for multitouch. It requires you do some ROM installing, telnetting, and some other geeky things but if you really want multitouch then you should have no problem getting it by following their guide.

You have a stylus on your touch phone but if you are like me you don’t want to have to pull it out to click one hard-to-touch button and then put it away. No, it would be much easier if you could just have a mouse pointer for a moment, click that button, then hide the mouse so you could get back to work.

Well Innovisoft thought of that idea and put it in an easy-to-use app that is simple and to the point — VirtuaMouse One-Hand. Just download and install, set the view/hide mouse button, and run the application and you are ready to roll. The mouse moves with the directional buttons and you click with the Ok/Enter button.

You can download a free, 30-day trial of VirtuaMouse from the Innovisoft site, and you can purchase your own copy of the application for just US$19.95.
