IMO, Multitouch comes with the capacitive screen and with the OS.

There were rumours that some of the cheaper Android handsets would be resistive, but this turned out to be untrue. In fact, I think every Android OS phone has a capacitive screen.
Considering the Aino has capacitive and Nokia is now switching to capacitive, I am certain the X10/Infinity or whatever Rachael will be called HAS to be capacitive. In fact, I really want to say 100% guaranteed - but let's make it 99.999999999% just in case.

& @jmcomms,
Don't assume ... The Nokia X6 has capacitive, no multi-touch, so too does Cliq/Dext, no multi-touch.
Multi-touch is usually a hardware & software combo solution - now just about ever capacitive screen is made with the hardware to support the software. It all depends on who is sourcing the hardware.
It would seem Android 2.0 supports multi-touch; but the wording by Google seems out for interpretation.

False, HTC Tattoo has a resistive screen. So the cheaper Android-phone story is true....

I think jmcomms is right. All Androids so far have been capacitive as far as I know (ok, just read domipost's post, but that is a low end Android and Rachael won't be), and SE have proven in Aino that they can do capacitive. Rachael's interface that we've seen looks to be designed for finger browsing, and we haven't seen any stylus accessories in photos. Capacitive would handle finger use better than resistive, so it is unlikely we'll see resistive on Rachael.
@prom1: The X6 is a different OS, the Cliq has a different version of Android.

You got me on the X6 - but I used to highlight not ALL capactive screens by default give you multi-touch to which i was replying on a statement made by someone else. That said Cliq/Dext is a VALID arguement since the "versions" of Android was not the focus, the focus of the previous page (or a few posts above) was that All Androids thus far have been capacitive and apparantly it is.
Dream, Magic also are capacitive - but Magic (or G1) does NOT support Multi-Touch EVEN with 1.6 updated or 2.0.
Aino has capacitive screen, but at what cost? $699 US over here is WAY too much for a feature phone; its a GOOD phone, but it's design doesn't appeal to everyone; at least it comes with a solid headset and stand.

I agree. Aino is selling for $600 US on sonystyle.com that's just crazy for a feature phone that isn't exactly high end either.
I'm hoping rachael doesn't break the $800 US mark... i don't know if i could justify buying it if it does....

why would you buy something directly from the manufacturer though?? your guranteed to always pay much more than the market price.
i can buy Aino for $570aud... which is about $500usd...
its a very decent price if you ask me consdering the early launch prices of both c905 and w995...
sure its not a smartphone. but apart from that. it has everything imho. and the options to connect it to ps3 and access all your files on there, and watch live tv via play tv, as well as wireless file transfer... no other phone offers that.
