At Google I/O developer conference on May 28, Steve Horowitz, engineering director for Android, demonstrated the touch-screen capabilities of Google’s Mobilephone’s operating system software by using a swiping gesture to light up dots on the demo phone in the form of a “G” to unlock the phone for use.
