Multi touch support is definitely a high priority feature for the mobile support.
From my research it seems that there is no way that we can avoid having to port a bunch of drivers, if we want complete support for Touch on Desktops as well, which is a pain.
This is list of Linux drivers for Touchscreen Devices.
It might be best/easiest to start with the Raspberry Pi Touchscreen port, I might be able to look at that in February.
I am guessing it will be easier on Android and iOS as the gesture recognition is supported natively.
The standard gestures of Ubuntu are listed here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/
Ubuntu Touch might be different, I haven't been able to locate any info on it yet.
Touch Screens needs Multi-Touch support and Gestures
There is a need to use gestures on touch screen platforms. Multi-Touch input is required for that.
Get Native Input Touch Data from platform
With the planned Android, iOS and Ubuntu Touch support, there is a need to register and record multiple touch events, so that gestures like pinch zoom, palm swipe etc can be used, platform appropriately. I am guessing this should also extend to touch screen desktop.
