Hands-on With The Nexus One Multitouch
Hallelujah! I just watched this video showing that the recent Nexus One OTA update brings multi-touch to the device! Hooray! Below is a video from AndroidCentral.com that shows the three apps that make the most use of this feature;
- The bowser
- Google Maps
- and Gallery
The update also includes Google Goggles, a ’3G switching to EDGE’ fix and more!
If you haven’t gotten the OTA yet, Android Central has a great walk through on manually updating your Nexus One.
In the meantime, here’s an excerpt from their thoughts as well as the video:
Enjoy.
‘Multitouch on the Nexus One, for all intents and purposes, is the same as multitouch anywhere else (any by that we mean the iPhone, natch). Pinch to zoom, spread your fingers to zoom out. There’s a slightly weird elasticity to it — the motion continues slightly after your fingers have stopped. We wouldn’t call it a bug; it’s just a noticeable difference.’
