No Multi-touch on DROID browser because Andy Rubin hates two-handed operations?

After using the Iphone and switching to the Droid, I don't miss multi-touch at all. In fact, as Jimdibb says, trying to pinch and zoom with one hand is almost impossible especially on a phone with the size and "boxiness" as the droid. I would much rather tap and hold to zoom in or tap and hold again to zoom out on any of those applications mentioned in the article. Except for typing, I think multi-touch is over rated.

This would be like a President saying he hates sex so noone can have it. Just because the hnic doesn't like it doesn't mean it shouldn't be available for those of us who love it! Besides if it's there and you don't use it what's it hurting?

I think it's more about him trying to be innovative. He is telling us we don't need pinch-to-zoon in hopes that it will catch on in other places. It's a very small version of...like what Apple did in saying we don't need a physical keyboard, or Nintendo saying we don't need old fashioned controls anymore. He may be right. I use multi-tap to zoom on my iPhone at times, but the problem is doing a possible double tap and clicking a link. I use pinch to zoom a lot more because of the precision.

Maybe he fails to realize, it's not about what you don't like. It's about what your consumers want and like.

Did Andy not get the memo that consumers will decide how successful his company will become?

Ok so he doesn't like it but yet the droid has the full slide-out keyboard with which EVERY single droid user uses both his/her hands to type on it with... I mean have you ever seen anyone type with just one hand? NO. This is why I say android will never overrun it's competition, because it's run by idiots like this one right here.
