Apple has a patent on the idea of pinch zoom huh? So its pretty interesing that all those new Windows 7 ads with A Christmas Carol clearly show a new touchscreen PC with a kid excessively using a "pinch" motion to zoom in on items on the screen. The patents they have DO NOT have anything to do with onscreen gestures, I have heard so many different BS reasons that the Droid doesn't natively have multitouch in the browser, my Motorola rep points at Google, blah blah blah. HTC put multitouch on their phone, Palm put it on theirs, the Zune HD has it, new PCs will have it. Apple was just the first to put the tech in a consumer device. I would love to see it in the browser, though double tap works fine, there are many situations where the increased incremental control you get with multitouch is helpful. If the browser gets multitouch and Flash, which it should have both by March, it will be pretty damn close to flawless as far as mobile browsing goes.
