Droid user jealous of your iPhone friends who pinch-zoom? Motorola Droid users can now (unofficially) upgrade their ROMs to add multi-touch. Many of the Android Google apps support multi-touch, including Google Maps, but the feature has been disabled in the U.S. because of a concern over an Apple U.S. patent. The European version of the Droid, unemcumbered by Apple’s U.S. patent, has multi-touch. The ROM is derived from that version of the phone which is marketed as the Motorola Milestone. Complete instructions and the download can be found here.
Like the U.S. Droid, the Google Nexus One phone that is being “dogfooded” by Gogglers also does not support multi-touch functions. Let’s hope there’s a European version of the Nexus One in the works. :)
