that is a very interesting argument.. but also dubious. i went in to the actual patent and searched for zoom and pinch (seperately) and found no mention of them in the claims. odd indeed.

If you want the Milestone vs Droid question, start at 14min 50 sec.

I would recommend watching the from 9min 40sec so you can get more questions that you may have answered.

Sorry for my "kind of" rude comment earlier about getting informed, I just dislike "mis-information" that gets spread. If you are going to post mis-Information like APPLE WILL SUE GOOGLE or other conspiracy theorys like that..then post a link.

You do realize Motorola is on record saying it plans to bring multitouch to its devices [natively, because it already exists]? Go to any news website and search for "Motorola to bring multitouch."

I was happy with Double Tap. I didn't understand why people wanted "Pinch Zoom" so badly. What's the big deal?

But now that I've seen and understand how Pinch Zoom works I want it. It's very cool and especially useful for zooming pictures just the right amount.

he doesn't expressly deny it, and he may not even know about it, if it was a deal btwn the big wigs. from a design stand point, it just doesn't make sense to not include it, even if they prefer one handed ops, they could just include both. then again, this is the same company that didnt include type ahead find in chrome, so they clearly like to upset their power users..

Yes, you did post a link. But the link proves nothing, just more guesses.
