Multi-Touch

Hi, I wonder if is the Android multi-touch support reliable? I've read it suffers from some problems.

I also wonder, how can I define custom multi-touch gestures? Like: 3 fingers rotate or 3 fingers stay static and fourth is moving.

I've come across some resources (Gestures or MotionEvent on developer.android.com) but nothing states it clearly.

Regards,

Zdenek
