Google is lastly leasing the Nexus One use multi-touch for maps, photo galleries and the Web, but that’s of slight solace to proprietors of Motorola’s Droid and T-Mobile’s G1.
Don’t get me erroneous, it’s great that however one more Android handset is getting pinch-to-zoom signals and it’s never been clear why certain handsets don’t comprise the trait. Rumor has it Apple demanded that Google evade multi-touch back when the businesses were comfy, but Google may no longer want to obey now that the relationship has curdled.
We don’t know the terms of the arrangement — or whether it essentially subsists – so it’s indistinct whether Google could ever add multi-touch to older handsets. For all we know, there may be subjects with the Droid and G1 that preclude Google from freeing a simple update, irrespective of whether Apple’s involved.
Whatsoever the motive may be, the Droid and the G1 lack multi-touch for central Android apps, even though the hardware in both handsets chains multi-touch gestures. This doesn’t appear like a topic of older versus fresher editions of Android, because HTC’s Droid Eris, which runs Android 1.6, supports multi-touch, as does Motorola’s Milestone, the European edition of the Droid running Android 2.0.
It’s a disgrace that you can’t purchase and Android handset knowing for sure that you’ll get multi-touch, or when a novel trait for example Maps Navigation will be brought to your older handset. The suppleness of Android lets consumers decide on the hardware and consumer interface that’s right for them, but that choice comes at a cost.
