Question: I would like to develop a multi-touch (up to 8 fingers) application for iPhone/iPod Touch.
But during testing on my 1st gen iPod Touch once I put the 6th finger weird things started to happen.
I don't get Touch Began for the 6th finger nor Touch Ended/Cancelled for the first 5 fingers.

Do you know of any workaround for this?
Does it behave the same on your iPhones/iPods?
Would it work on G1 on Android?

Thanks

Answer: 
Just a note: the iPad can recognize 11 touches.
The system is only capable of tracking 5 finger touches at once. You should only ever get 5 touch events at the same time, I think anything over that is ignored. 

You're probably seeing odd behavior because its not consistently picking the same 5 out of 8 fingers to report touch events on.
