"Arguably they were the second. The LG Prada, a touch-screen phone, was
released three months before the iPhone was announced."

Um, LG Prada was a touchscreen phone, but it was not MULTITOUCH. There has been several phones with touchscreens over the years, but none of them were multitouch.

So? The patent threat in question has no relevance to whether the phones are multitouch or not; you only need one finger to scroll in two-dimensions (or one, which is the issue at hand).
