As of the beginning of Feb. 2010, update1 started rolling out to all Nexus 1s. This implimented multi-touch/pinch to zoom to the google browser, gallery and maps. You didnt miss anything, just an old article from before the phone had been updated to work with this.

Personally i imagine alot of the reason for the wait was to see what “Fruit”Phone company will do, and hey, look at what they did, as soon as there is a real competitor for the “Fruit”Phone they go and sue HTC becuase they know they cant sue Google directly, they also have responded by taking all “Google” products off of their phone.

[...] Multitouch implementations: Hackers give Nexus One users what Google refuses [...]

I am baffled at all these discussions… I opened up my N1 last night, gave it a test drive and was pleasantly suprised to find pinch zoom FULLY WORKING in several of the built in apps, including Maps, Browser and Gallery.

What am I missing?

The phone did request to install an Android update as I was booting up the first time. Perhaps this update (which I installed) added multitouch to the builtin apps?

The best thing about the pinch zoom is the ability to zoom in on a single point… instead of pushing the zoom button then having to move around the page to find the desired spot.
AFTER WATCHING THAT VIDEO, IT LOOKS LIKE ALL THE PINCH ZOOM IS DOING IS ZOOMING TO THE CENTER OF THE SCREEN. Kinda defeats the purpose:(

Frankly, I’m sick of the whole conversation. The fact that he won’t just answer the damn question really pisses me off. I could take or leave multi-touch because there are plenty of ways to enable if you have the wherewithal to root your phone and load CM. But stop jerking around. Put an end to the ceaseless bellyaching about pinch-zoom. And acknowledge that all of these so-called “reviewers” will always say that your product is inferior if they can’t pinch zoom a photo, regardless of all the other features you make available.

does that really look like its easier than hitting the 1 zoom in or out button.i am not a fan of multitouch. however if they can make games better with multitouch then i think its just a matter of time before its implemented on android.

I saw how he was tip toe-ing around the conspiricy … I believe that Apple has somthing to do with it because they tried to patent somthing that Android ALREADY had. The Contacts on the Homescreen

Hey Guys,

I put together a little How To Video for anyone interested in enabling multitouch on the Nexus One native browser, hope this helps someone :)

Double tap in the browser works great. I really want pinch zoom for the gallery and maps.
