Nexus One to get multi-touch in the Browser, Maps and Gallery applications
Google will be releasing an over-the-air software update for the Nexus One intended to fix 3G issues which have been reported by some users, but which will also include some additional updates which are bound to please the wider Android community.
The software update will provide support for multi-touch gestures in the Browser, Maps and Photo applications, a feature which Google hasn’t supported in their native apps until now. It will also include Google Googles by default and add suggestions and a dedicated night mode to the Maps application.
Google is and hopes to have it out to all users by the end of this week. You’ll know when it becomes available via a message in the notification bar. It’s a smart move on Google’s part as lack of multi-touch on the Nexus One has been the subject of considerable debate amongst users. The company hasn’t been all that forthcoming about their plans to support the functionality so far, but it looks like this answers the question that we’ve all been asking.
Update: How to manually install the update
Update: with the new pinch and zoom funtionality
