I installed Dolphin on my N1 just for that functionality, but it was to annoying to have two browsers, and no matter how many times I set Dolphin to act as my default, the native browser would still be used for many things without my asking. I've now uninstalled Dolphin, and may try to add this.]]>Jan 21st 2010 8:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nexus-ones-unitouch-browser-falls-victim-to-cyanogen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nexus-ones-unitouch-browser-falls-victim-to-cyanogen/Jan 21st 2010 8:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nexus-ones-unitouch-browser-falls-victim-to-cyanogen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nexus-ones-unitouch-browser-falls-victim-to-cyanogen/You're going to be waiting a while. opera maybe, but I doubt that firefox will make it.

Anyhow, I'm glad Engadget is voicing their distaste for Rubin's aggravating approach to defending the lack of multi-touch on the US variant.

The fact that it's available on these same phones outside the US just goes to demonstrate that it has to be some underhanded agreement (or unspoken agreement) they made with Apple at some point.]]>Jan 21st 2010 9:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nexus-ones-unitouch-browser-falls-victim-to-cyanogen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nexus-ones-unitouch-browser-falls-victim-to-cyanogen/I wouldn't keep your hopes up.
As much as every b's and moans about Engadget's writing. Its usually quite well put with wit in it. One of the (many) reason's i do enjoy reading Engadget is there quirky humor they generally intertwine within there posts. Now although I don't have that great of grammar, and I'm not claiming i do. But there is always time for a bit of grammar. Bit of a capital letter here and there. Correct spelling, alright use of apostrophes, etc. Makes all the world of difference.]]>Jan 21st 2010 10:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nexus-ones-unitouch-browser-falls-victim-to-cyanogen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nexus-ones-unitouch-browser-falls-victim-to-cyanogen/

The reason is not because of patents alone (Palm and RIM implement MT) but because Google probably made some sort of deal that could keep Apple from being threatened by leaving out MT from the core apps, but letting frustrated, motivated users hack it in themselves.]]>Jan 21st 2010 9:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nexus-ones-unitouch-browser-falls-victim-to-cyanogen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nexus-ones-unitouch-browser-falls-victim-to-cyanogen/
On Android, you basically get the typical 'zoom steps' of your desktop browser. When you start the pinch motion the browser will do nothing, then at some point you'll cross an arbitrary threshold and the browser will zoom in a single, predetermined zoom increment (ie. it will jump from 100% to 125%). Following that, your pinch gesture will continue to be seemingly ignored until you yet again cross a certain threshold and get a zoom level jump. The entire situation feels disjointed and leaves you questioning why you don't just use the zoom buttons.

On a side note, I think the dynamic column resizing makes up for the lack of multitouch. For those who don't know, the browser resizes divs to fit on screen despite their zoom level. So on this page for example, if I had to zoom the to the point where the article overflowed the screen by 200px in order to get an acceptable text size, the browser will force that div to fit within the screen's bounds thereby alleviating me of the need to scroll side to side to read an entire line. ]]>Jan 21st 2010 9:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nexus-ones-unitouch-browser-falls-victim-to-cyanogen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nexus-ones-unitouch-browser-falls-victim-to-cyanogen/
Then again, I suppose I might have never noticed it because I rarely (pretty much never) use pinch-zoom. Even on the iphone it feels gimmicky. Tapping or hitting a button is much preferable to me.

Pinch-zoom just seems like one of those minor ridiculous things fanboys use to justify why their dated phone is better than newer/more advanced technology. Admittedly, the iphone was ahead of it's time when released, but a lot changes in 3 years. I look forward to the 3GS+ (or whatever they are going to call it) hoping they give the screen a much needed resolution boost and implement jailbake-free multitasking.

Unfotunately I will probably stick with android simply because I prefer hardware keyboards, even if it's not the most perfect implementation (ala droid). Soft keyboards - like pinch zoom - feel gimmicky to me. So far I like the implementation of swype better than the iphone or droid stock ones. Downside there, much like pinch zoom, is that it needs 2 hands to do. If I am going to use two hands, might as well be on a hardware keyboard.]]>Jan 21st 2010 10:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nexus-ones-unitouch-browser-falls-victim-to-cyanogen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nexus-ones-unitouch-browser-falls-victim-to-cyanogen/Jan 21st 2010 10:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nexus-ones-unitouch-browser-falls-victim-to-cyanogen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nexus-ones-unitouch-browser-falls-victim-to-cyanogen/Jan 21st 2010 11:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nexus-ones-unitouch-browser-falls-victim-to-cyanogen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nexus-ones-unitouch-browser-falls-victim-to-cyanogen/If it's so good it should outsell iPhone right?
