Hmmm. "Allowed" or "used". It means different things and you can't make
that call based on a flash animation. Until real units are in people's
hands, I'll reserve comment, but the website clearly states that both
can be used.
"2) The first screen to support two simultaneous touch points.
While holding Jackito in your hands, you can easily move both your
thumbs, either
separately or together. This lets you operate the Touchscreen as fast
as your brain thinks
(you can touch two points simultaneously)."
"2Click (both thumbs on the screen simultaneously"
Fundamentally I think that the two thumbs at once is a pointless
concept, but you can't deny that the technology is there.

God, it's just a PDA, there's no need for insults.
