Great Scott! It works! I tried it, and it works! Not the hobbled versions, the real deal with Android Market, Google Apps and everything!

Go here, and then do this!

How to Install:
1. Gain root (follow the various threads available on the forums to accomplish this).
2. Download the latest build above.
3. Copy to your sdcard as update.zip
4. Power off your phone.
5. Hold the Home button, and power on the device. (This should send you into recovery mode).
6. Press ALT+B to create a nandroid backup (if you wish to fall back without losing any data later, if you do go back to RC33 [or any other firmware 1.0 update] you will need to reflash your radio, users have reported problems using the new radio on the old firmwares.)
7. Press ALT+W, then ALT+S.
8. Wait for it to finish, then home+back.

Now you haz Cupcakes!!!!!!!!

What a tangled web is weaved when navigating the mire of multitouch lawsuits.

Follow this:

- Palm shows off Palm Pre, chock full of lawyer baiting multitouch features that iPhone owners find familiar…

- iPhone makers Apple agree, threaten to sue pants off Palm for plagaristic Pre multitouch.

- Google breathes sigh of relief, admits that Android can do multitouch, but they flicked the switch to ‘off’, thinking that Apple might be protective of their multitouch tech.

- Chinese manufacturer Elan Microelectronics pop out of nowhere, threatening to sue pants off Apple for infringing on multitouch patents.

- Elan flicks Android multitouch switch to ‘on’, shows off ‘eFinger’ multitouch on their devices in vid below. Apple’s head explodes with rage (maybe).

Truth be told, multitouch looks pretty at home on Android! Let lawyer-battle commence!
