No, I don't think so. They're just mouse replacements, so they're limited by what a mouse can do.

Not exactly. They can send proximity and pressure information which you can access in your application (to return in-topic, by examining the current NSEvent).


I think that, if we ever see a multitouch API in Mac OS X (the one for Macs), it's going to extend NSEvent the same way.

 - ∞

(By the way, there are a lot of technologies in OS X that are effectively Apple-only, as they have no public APIs; window warping, Time Machine's UI and programmatically verifying code signing are examples. Multitouch could become part of this group.)
