Saying that multitouch is more of a gimmick is laughable. :lolup:
Lets see ........
Precise Zooming on web pages, maps, pics, etc: VS pressing a magnify glass icon or tapping the screen for non precise increment zoom levels.
Then you have gaming, Plenty of iPhone games have virtual controls/joysticks. It wouldn't be possible to play them correctly without multitouch.
Typing would also most likely be less responsive too.
