Apparently it does support multitouch, it just does not have the proper software to make use of it. Check this video:

And here is another one that proves the same thing.

    That is a totally useless multitouch. Who cares about being able to pull a bar down with two fingers that does no body any good. Can you pinch zoom on a page or pictures? Are they ever going to have that? If not then it does not support multi touch.

    it would have been multitouch if you could bring the shade down and move an icon around at the same time.

    That's not multitouch.

    If you have a WM Professional device, open solitaire, and drag a card around with one finger. If you put your other finger on there, the card hovers in the middle. If you lift up one finger, the card snaps to the other one.

    OMG, my Tilt has had multitouch this whole time!! There's just no software to support it!!

    I think if there more than one point, the touchscreen just calculates a single point in the middle, same as using a fat finger instead of a stylus.
