Scoobie says “Can someone explain to me why andriod doesn’t have pinch zoom?”

Because Apple claim to hold a patent on it, and everyone is scared of Apple’s legal tem. But Apple appear to be using the multitouch patent of several universities, so it wont hold water…

@Y314K, have you got any linked info on those HTC models? I’m in Taiwan, making me partial to HTC products (because I can be pretty sure they’ll do a great job of supporting traditional Chinese input). The Hero is just a little too small for my taste, and the rumors I’ve seen on the Dragon are giving me hope.

Has Google confirmed that 2.0 will come to older phones like G1 and Magic?

For those wanting pinch zoom… Just wait for the HTC Dragon/HD Android… HTC Rosie does come with pinchiness…

It seems that Android 1.6 has got a very short life span. Looking at http://www.droiddoes.com, verison are advertising one of Motorola Droid features as “Android 2.0″

The easiest way to loop around that “pinch to zoom” patent that Apple apparently has is to just say it’s “Multi-touch Enabled”. Apple didnt patent multi-touch nor did they invent it, they just re-named it and implemented it.

Because it’s patented by Apple, and software patents are f***ing stupid.

@squee147

This phone probably won’t be crippled considering Verizon hasn’t crippled any of their other phones they’ve recently released.

@fisherp

We know you have an iPhone. These specs for both phones are generally the same, right down to the speed of the processor. Actually, the Droid has better resolution, and a 3.7 inch screen. To say the specs are unimpressive is to say the iPhone is even more unimpressive. People were putting “apps” on Winmo devices before Apple even entered the market, so they can’t claim their place of fame by apps. Right now Apple’s software and hardware is unmatched in terms of performance, however functionality leaves something more than to be desired. Why must I download an app for anything when I can simply already have it integrated into the OS or UI itself? Why not make a platform that revolves around having the capabilities of doing several things while still having the same integration? Apple could do all of this, of course, but they aren’t and due to their iron grip, they won’t ever really “win” the silly little phone war going on in everyone’s head.

@Vincent – I don’t want an STD. It took me long enough to get rid of the last one, even with the special cream and applicator.
