  • Publication number: 20090282332
    Abstract: An apparatus, method and computer program product are provided for selecting multiple items on a touchscreen using multi-touch. In order to select an item and, by extension, an underlying object associated with the item, a user may touch the touchscreen proximate the area at which the item is displayed using multiple fingers, or other selection devices. In response to detecting that the user has touched the touchscreen using multiple fingers, or other selection devices, the electronic device may modify the graphical item to indicate that it is selected and identify the underlying object as selected. After selecting two or more graphical items and corresponding objects in this manner, the user may enter a command to be taken with respect to the selected graphical items and/or objects. In response, the electronic device may cause the action associated with the command to be performed with respect to the selected items and/or objects.
