Apple asked Google not to use Multi-Touch

This piece of news comes from VentureBeat which says that Apple asked Google not to use multi-touch in their Android platform and Google has formally agreed to this request. Here is what VentureBeat has to say:

Further, the Android team member went on to say that they were relieved that Google didn’t go against Apple’s wishes, given the legal storm that appears to be brewing between Apple and Palm, which is using multi-touch technology in its new Pre phone. Even if Apple ultimately decides not to pursue legal action against Palm (it’s not yet clear how likely that is, but Apple does have an impressive array of patents), the situation has likely soured the relationship between the two companies. Google, it seems, wants no part in ruining its relationship with Apple.
