Jobs just bragged the iPad’s capacitive touchscreen was the best in the business, but they just showed that the multitouch display is also more sophisticated in the iPhone.
While demonstrating a game from Gameloft called Nova, it was demonstrated that drawing three fingers across the screen allowed you to open a door.
That seems to indicate the hardware and software of the multitouch display allows for a lot more flexibility in gesturing than the iPhone, as expected. More registered points of articulation = greated gesturing sophistication.
