			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the more interesting Jailbroken applications that appeared for the iPhone and iPod Touch has been <a href="http://moocowmusic.com/">Moo Cow Music&#039;s</a> instrument apps which turn your iPhone or iPod Touch into a <a href="http://moocowmusic.com/Pianist/">Piano</a>, <a href="http://moocowmusic.com/Drummer/">Drum</a>, <a href="http://moocowmusic.com/Guitarist/">Guitar</a> or a full <a href="http://moocowmusic.com/Band/">Band</a>.  <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycIjt-ykWRo">Youtube movie</a>:</p>
<p><center><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ycIjt-ykWRo&#038;hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ycIjt-ykWRo&#038;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object></center></p>
<p>It appears the developer is reworking the applications for official SDK release in the future, but the most interesting discovery is that the iPhone is capable of 5-point multitouch.  The video above shows 4 point multi-touch, but the <a href="http://moocowmusic.com/Pianist/">developer&#039;s site</a> indicates that up to 5 distinct points can be detected simultaneously.  </p>
<p>From a gaming perspective, this means that complex controls can be implemented with up to 5 points of contact.  While its hard to imagine a situation where 5 points of contact would come in handy (maybe the <a href="http://moa.dracandros.com/Five_Point_Palm_Exploding_Heart_Technique">Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique?</a>), it&#039;s nice to know the number of detectible presses will not be an issue.</p>
