Multi-touch vs. dual touch?

What is multi-touch on Android? It is different than Apple's multi-touch,  isn't it?

On Android, which gestures are multi-touch/multi-tasking?  Which are dual touch?

just think about google maps, how you can use two fingers to pinch-zoom, or two fingers to rotate the map, etc. it's up to either Google and/or developers to take advantages of multitouch. in that sense ios and android are similar, but different code.

Multi-touch its not multitask, multitask is when you do multiple things at once, lets say you are using Gtalk and then you reply to a txt using the notification bar then you long press the MENU button and tap on Gtalk to switch back to Gtalk, while playing music in the background, that's multitask
