It’s not an unequivocal “yes,” but an awkward “no comment” from a Google product manager may indicate that touch capability is being built into Chrome OS.

At an event in London at Google’s headquarters attended by TechRadar, Senior Product Manager of Search Anders Sandholm “chuckled nervously” in response to the question of whether Chrome OS would include multitouch capability, the technology made ubiquitous largely by Apple’s iconic iPhone. It’s one of the glaring omissions from the Nexus One, so much so that there’s a hack to enable multitouch support available.
