Bear in mind we don't know for sure whether this is a forthcoming iteration of the Sense UI (http://www.engadget.com/tag/senseui) or just an industrious hacker, but the video after the break shows off some pretty sweet multittouch integration into HTC's Android skin. Pinch-to-zoom, that most notorious (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/19/editorial-googles-multitouch-dilemma/) of functions, is used to achieve an Exposé-like (http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/jailbroken-iphone-gets-expose-like-view-you-retail-users-just-k/) overview of all the widgets you have open, with an easy tap getting you into the one you want. It seems a relatively intuitive action, even if the person showing it off does his or her best to make it look as clumsy as possible. This should be most enticing when considered in light of the purportedly upcoming HTC Hero update (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/htc-hero-update-to-android-2-1-pegged-for-mid-march/) to Android 2.1 -- who's to say this isn't what HTC is cooking up as an extra topping for that Eclair?
