It's named after its processor, which punches well above its weight:

You have ANY thing to back up that claim? I've not seen anything of the sort. I mean, why would Sony use a 6 year old server processor (That has been superseded 5 times) in a mobile device? If things are android based, as suspected, Sony would have to redo the toolchain to work with that architecture, as Android is currently only made to work on ARM, MIPS, and x86 platforms and NOT SPARC.

everything now seems possible for multi touch:

IR multitouch does have limitation issues. Proximity to other fingers can skew detection. Also in my experience, IR systems like this experience jitter unless you have really high resolution sensors.
