I tried the app as seen in the video and did experience the bug on my N1 but it does not effect any of the apps I have, or pinch zoom. Doesn't seem like a big deal to me. Very happy with the phone.
This wouldn't have very much of an effect on pinch to zoom. It would make a lot of gaming and entertainment applications impossible though.
If you never play multitouch games or anything like that, this shouldn't matter to you. But it still has potential to hurt google, android, htc and other manufacturers of android based devices.
Valid point, but I would assume Google would just release a patch if needed. Problem solved. You think their going to just abandon their little baby? Android is a big important project for them.
@Dilbert i doubt that it's harware related. i'm sure that it's google's fault. they have so many different versions of the OS out at one time and keep updating every version. they're bound to screw up some where. also, each hardware developer gets to add stuff into the OS before they release the update for the phone, so on top of google, it is also htc's fault. remember, this is also the first US android device to fully use multitouch in the OS. i'd say that it's minor and probably fixable. it is a problem nonetheless and google really needs to get their act together. they need to stop releasing a new version of the OS every time a stacked, new device comes out. please upgrade the existing ones! i have a droid and i absolutely love it, but i want multitouch support like the nexus 1 has. also, instead of constantly expanding the ways that you can use the OS, they need to perfect all of its basic operations and clean everything up. that is one thing that apple does so well and that's why the iphone is known for running so smoothly. google really needs to copy that strategy. all of the functionality is great, but i also want an perfectly smooth UI.
i digress... haha it's probably just a minor update away, to come back around to the main topic.
