The super touchscreen technology known as Multitouch is a revolutionary advance in interface design that makes the iPhone possible.
As shepherded by Jeff Han's company Perceptive Pixel, it enables CNN to present election results in a novel way, becoming "a stupendous way to explain a lot of complicated data."
And perhaps most importantly, multitouch means we can play huge games of Missile Command without that lame-o trackball.

Multi-touch doesn't make the iPhone possible. The only way the iPhone makes use of multi-touch is for zooming in and out of photos and maps. Beyond those minor interface elements, nothing in the about the iPhone's revolutionariness is dependent on multi-touch.
