Motorola Droid multi-touches itself
Pinch and zoom to your heart’s content
The Motorola Droid - or Milestone, as it's known here - is a seriously nice piece of kit but the lack of multi-touch capability seemed to annoy quite a few fans when it was launched at the tail end of last year.
For a while it seemed as if Google was fearful of stepping on Apple’s toes by replicating the famous “pinch to zoom” functionality in its operating system, but that trepidation appears to have passed because both the Nexus One and Droid are now capable of multi-touch, thanks to recent software updates.
Lucky Nexus One users should have already received an automatic over the air update but Droid owners will have to manually download the newest iteration of Google Maps - version 3.4.0, if you’re interested in that sort of thing - which comes with multi-touch equipped.
Of course to European Android fans this is less of a talking point because for some inexplicable reason, multi-touch has been present in the Motorola Milestone from day one.
