why hasnt someone made the ocarina app for android yet? like sneriously... that app alone almost make me want to get an IDont... Almost...
 
Just wanted to give my two cents on why this isn't happening for Android. It's the same reason I don't think I'll continue trying to do it, which is unfortunate, because it is a damn good app.

Android's multi-touch API blows, IMO. You can't touch separate View objects at the same time, each touch must belong to the same view. Not only that, most devices only support 2 touch pointers, making a 4-hole ocarina impractical because you can only press two at once. (Though you can achieve a whole scale with 5 holes) Even my damn best-in-class HTC Evo won't process more than 2 pointers on the screen. It's probably do-able to hack something together, but executing a smooth app would be a challenge.
 
Do we know if the original Droid has at least 4 touch points??? I haven't done much digging, just thought I'd ask first. TIA
