Nexus One Update Fixes 3G, Adds Multitouch
snydeq writes "Google is pushing out an update for the Nexus One that will fix a 3G connectivity problem and add limited support for multitouch. After receiving over 1,500 messages in a support forum from people complaining about trouble connecting to 3G, Google said it has identified the problem and has started delivering the fix. In addition to fixing 3G, the update adds the first applications to support multitouch. While the recent versions of the Android OS include multitouch capability, no phone in the US has supported it."
I'm still waiting for the port of IE6..
All the iPhone fanboys based all their criticism on the lack of multitouch. Now they've got nothing to stand on.
The good news is, Google has fixed the 3G problems. The bad news is, the fix is going out via the 3G network.
Slow down, cowboy! It has been 4 hours since you last posted. You must wait another few hours.
Yes, those geniuses at google, wrote a piece of software that rerouted power form the rear deflectors to modulate the refresh rate of the lcd screen to emit an interference signal that modifies the TMobile compatible 3G signal from 1700 MHz for download and 2100 MHz for upload to the A&TT frequency of 1900 MHz. I'm just not sure what they're going to do to handle the excess tachyon radiation pressure on the the glass.
Well.. maybe. Or Maybe not. But Definitely not sort of.
doesn't support multitouch? Should I stop doing it then?
Perhaps, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they aren't infringing
Yeah, I'm sure Apple's notoriously aggressive legal division is just being nice to Palm /sarcasm
Maybe they're using Palm as a decoy. "C'mon Google. Dive on in. The water's fine...!" "Can we shoot them now?" "Wait for it. Waaaaait for it..."
They're using this gesture, in response to Apple patents. http://media.photobucket.com/image/middle%20finger/munbk/middle_finger.jpg?o=1
