Motorola Droid is Crippled In the U.S.–No Multitouch
Posted in: droid, motorola, palm pre, Today's Chili
UPDATE: We have a response from Motorola here.
According to Motorola’s own Web site, the Motorola Droid for Europe (A.K.A. the Milestone) lists pinch-and-zoom as one of the features in the Interface section. Sadly, the U.S. Web site for the Droid does not list pinch-and-zoom as one of the features in the Interface section. Sniffle, sniffle.
So now it’s time to ask the following questions:
- Is Motorola/Google/Verizon scared to enable the Droid’s pinch-and-zoom feature in fear that Apple will sue them over a patent it may hold in the U.S.?
- Does that make any sense, given that the Palm Pre has pinch-to-zoom, and Palm remains un-sued?
- How fast will hackers enable pinch-and-zoom on the U.S. Droid?
- How screwed up is this whole scenario?
Your turn.
