How do I display all touches on screen in order to demo an iPhone app?

Now that we have display mirroring on the iPad 2 (wired now... wireless coming in iOS 5), is there an easy way to display all touches on screen? This would be useful when demoing an app?

What I am looking for is the ability to just include some SDK, and maybe change a line of code after which all of my touches will be displayed on screen.

I have seen many other ways to demo apps: 1)Using the simulator along with a screen capture tool that will turn your mouse cursor into a big white circle 2)Jailbreak hacks that can record the screen/display all touches

However, my goal is to just have touches displayed on a regular app running on an actual device.

An alternative solution I cobbled together recently enables you to target any app (including SpringBoard and other iOS system applications ie Settings) and requires zero modifications or libraries for your own application, the only drawback is it requires a jailbreak. I figured i'd share regardless just in case anyone else finds it useful.

I based it around https://github.com/mapbox/Fingertips but inject into UIWindow instead of replacing it to add everything necessary to make showing the touches possible.

If you are jailbroken but don't feel like building and installing touchy on your own its on my Cydia repo: https://nitosoft.com/beta2
