[danmatthews1000]

ouch, that is a bad browser

[AlkamistSSi]

Stop hating iPhone fanboys. This phone beats the iPhone is every spec pound for pound...but hey, at least you got your App Store, lol

[TheHumbee]

The multitouch in this phone isn't really multitouch. It's pinch-to-zoom. It can only do this: zoom in and out, nothing more. Piece of crap touchscreen. The worst.

[ExclusiveGslick]

This is laggy, the nexus one got OTA update to multi touch better than iphone on browser, pictures and maps.

[JoWhKeJo]

I wish the browser and multi toutch was as good as the Palm pre and iphone, bit disappointed :(

[RoccoDaOne]

Well, you can't double tap with the dolphin browser, which I think is a huge drawback. I really prefer double-tapping to multitouch.

[guyazouri1]

ohhh this looks bad, whats with the jumping???

on my iphone its much smoother!!

[tekcomputing]

yh, but the dolphin browser does much better

[classicfinefoods]

this whole phone seems kinda slaggish.. and worse thing is the keyboard.. hardly any room to type.. i tried it but its way too small. im staying with iphone

[muchomandalove]

@classicfinefoods o_O bigger screen and bigger keyboard on the nexus one, stop being a fanboy

[eriku16]

When he zooms in or out, the page is being reformatted to the screen in real time. The iphone does not. The iphone creates a scalable bitmap image of the whole page and redraws it.

[classicfinefoods]

yes and why is that good for you exactly?

i rather have a "real" enlargment effect then real time. much nicer for the eyes

[Tazy50]

there we go again with the apple fanboyz.

[avidil]

download dolphin browser from market it comes with true multi touch Only on nexus or dorid...

[rhoa23]

That looks horrible, the mixing of the page zoom when you pinch is awful. I rather on wait on Google to come out with their update.

[julie16868]

Looks like the Nexus requires two hands operation, one to hold the phone and one to zoom in and out. With the iPhone, you just need to tab the screen twice with your thumbs. It would be nice to be able to do that on the Nexus.

[joshywood]

Uuuhmmm, you can.

[TwilightNX]

umm... you CAN double-tap to zoom in on the nexus...

[TheAbsintheReviewNet]

What is the point of using pinch and drag if you can double tap? Waaaay easier.

[Fictionise]

@TheAbsintheReviewNet I agree. Using the pinch and zoom method actually makes you use both your hands to frickkin zoom in. Double tapping is so much more efficient. I guess it's just a feature to be added so that Apple fanboys won't get "OMFGWHEREISHPINCHANDZUUM?!" everytime the use the browser.

[daprinceofdabay]

the dolphin browser and the xscope browser support multitouch and are very very smooth just as good as the iphone the loading speeds of the nexus one are amazing as well i have gone from iPhone 3gs to nexus one and I love the nexus one the customization out of the box is amazing and it is lightning fast.

[BobBobGobGob]

It's not truly multi-touch.  Good try though.

[FMB21]

multitouch on small devices is overrated

my thump doesnt support multitouch...

[akm1516]

the dolphin browser is way better... not as fast as the iphone but just as good if u never had a iphone

[Sonola777]

What a complete pile of crap! They're gonna have to do a lot better than this. Choppy as hell.

[Sparatan117]

This is the hacked version of the browser with Multi Touch, this isn't Googles web browser. Its not said, but its pretty much understood by the Android Community that Apple is paying Google off not to enable Multi touch on their devices... Another reason why apple sucks the big one

[truBoxingfan]

man that shit is choppy as hell it's not smooth at all !

[nodnigga837]

If there wa a Jiggle war, my booty would get drafted!

[blackperson33]

its better with cyanogen -4.2.13

[cifrus]

The multitouch can look a bit rough because unlike the iPhone browser, Android browser organizes text so it can fit a screen width. In iPhone after pinch zooming you have to scroll horizontally to read.

[TheAbsintheReviewNet]

Yes, but you can simply double tap a paragraph to fit to the screen on iPhone. Much easier.

[cifrus]

May be, I'm not a big iPhone user. Here's the different approach. Each choses which he likes more, you know :)

[FTNJeff]

Stop talking about the iPhone... it's gayness to the extreme. With a 320x480 resolution it's absolutely terrible at rendering a webpage vs. a 800x480 screen. Those still stuck in iPhone fantasy land, go check out a 800+x480 device and see for yourself. Seriously, HOW can people stand that 320x480 screen? Esp after seeing newer devices like the Nexus One AMOLED 800x480?!

[terriblete67]

@TheAbsintheReviewNet You can do that on the Nexus One also

[stormlifter]

Silly rabbit, the Nexus One can do that too.

[MrMacBinary]

@cifrus This is exactly what I wanted to say. "Smoothness" of zooming is a sort of wow-factor, in real use text wrapping to screen size is way more important

[globalko]

now it has it all!

[fmoham01]

Cool video. You were right. It is not as smooth as the iPhone but it is still pretty good. At least good enough for me. What type of camcorder did you use to shoot this video?

[joshuapurcell]

The point of this work is not to be better at multi-touch than the Dolphin browser (at least at this stage), but it is the first step towards adding multi-touch to many other apps in Android. Cyanogen has managed to take multi-touch functionality and apply it to this standard app, and now he is working on doing the same thing for other standard apps. Dolphin will continue to be a great third-party browser (that I'll continue to use as my default).

[xguntherc]

All I have to say... is DOLPHIN Browser.. Multi-touch is very, very smooth. Much closer to an iphone style performance.

I have the Nexus One. and Dolphin pinch zooming multitouch blows this away. That video made me not want a N1, but I do have one and love it.. lol

[AndrewInCali]

That is awful pinch/zoom... double tap +- so much better.

[eventis3]

Cool!
