iPad max touches

Hi there,

I'm working on a multiplayer game and I'm having trouble with simultaneous touches on the iPad. Each player (up to four) has three buttons they use to control a ship, and the way I have it designed now kind of encourages people to be using all three fairly constantly. The game played great with two players, but as soon as my youngest son jumped into the fray things started becoming unresponsive.

I thought the iPad could handle up to 11 simultaneous touches (which I realize will still necessitate rethinking my controls), but my problems started around 7-8.

Can anyone shed light or share their experiences regarding the number of simultaneous presses the iPad/GS can handle?
