Google adds multi-touch pinch-to-zoom functionality to Nexus One
In a rather surprising move, Google added multi-touch functionality to Nexus One by an over-the-air update. Once the system is updated, users can take advantage of the “pinch-to-zoom functionality” on the device’s web browser, photo gallery and Google maps.
