    A small section of a Google announcement carried a lot of weight today.

    Pinch-to-zoom functionality: devices will now include a new pinch-to-zoom mechanism in the phone’s Browser, Gallery and Maps applications

    That little, innocuous and unpunctuated comment is HUGE! Until now, only the iPhone has had native multitouch — and it took a lot of hassle, hacking and unlocking to get it on other phones.

    The Nexus One was already at the top of my gadget wish list, and now it’s taken over part of my number two gadget.

    Watch the video to see the multitouch in action.
    Also included in the update was native Google Goggles AR application and synchronization with online Google maps via the Maps application — making it easy to search online and mobile history on board.
