How can I detect if there is more than one touch happening on a mobile device? I would like to get how many touches as well as the X, Y coordinates of all touches occurring.

For multitouch, have a look at the raw input commands. Specifically if you want to know how many touches there are, I think the command you're after is GetRawTouchCount(1).

Here's a quick example of how you can iterate the touch inputs and find their positions in screen space.

+ Code Snippet

do
    Print("Number of Touches: " + Str(GetRawTouchCount(1)))
    TouchEvent = GetRawFirstTouchEvent(1)
    while TouchEvent
		Print("Touch Event At " + Str(GetRawTouchCurrentX(TouchEvent)) + ", " + Str(GetRawTouchCurrentY(TouchEvent)))
		TouchEvent = GetRawNextTouchEvent()
	endwhile
    Sync()
loop
