I agree. But I believe Apple's patent is the firmware that makes the response to the multitouch hardware though. Hope Meizu can devise that part on their firmware.
You agree?? This is not a matter of taste or opinion it's a matter of FACT!

Also please don't confuse PATENTs and the OWNER OF A PATENT, anyone can use something that is Patented if they pay for it, just as Apple is doing with the screen.

For patented technology used in the iPhone see this list:

Since when did any of MS' Windows products become open-source? The Meizu runs Win CE, it's not runing LINUX!
