Rob Jackson editor at Phandroid, a Android news and fan site, says that Motorola's U.S. Droid phone does support multi-touch and he has the video to prove it.Apparently, Droid's web browser doesn't support multi-touch but other applications created by third-party developers can provide multi-touch interactions. As proof Rob Jackson downloads, installs, and then proceeds to pinch and stretch images in the application called Picsay on the U.S. version of the Motorola's Android 2.0 phone, Droid. Nice work, Rob.
All I can say is two things: First, I'm relieved because I really wanted android phones to be multi-touch. I don't mind eating crow for blogging that it doesn't. Second, what is wrong with Motorola's PR department? This is the completely useless statement they gave to GearLog when asked yesterday if Droid supported multi-touch. Why didn't Motorola just say that the phone is multi-touch but the browser isn't?
