hey guys jon rettinger technobuffalo here android is an operating system that has been extremely well endowed it's got the good fortune of some fantastic hardware and the nexus one the droid and the various hero devices it's an operating system that's extremely scalable offers a lot of customization and for many people has really been the perfect fit of form and function however Android has been lacking one big feature that I've been mentioning for since it first came out a lack of native multi-touch support American other Android devices like the hero that have added it but out of the box and really did not support multitouch well those days are long gone and let me show you what multi-touch natively looks like on Android particular than nexus one let's start we're probably use it the most the browser go ahead open that up surround TechnoBuffalo and take two fingers and do the of course pinch and zoom and on hardware like a nexus one where you're running the Snapdragon gigahertz processor it is incredibly fast I mean it zooms in zooms out as quickly as your fingers go there is no delay and no lag it looks like it's been there since day one implemented really nicely you still do get the plus and minus magnification bars down there if you want to use it but multi-touch just worked so well and of course we rotate the landscape it will work just as well for you assuming it'll rotate it will work for you exactly the same way so that's one way that multi-touch has been implemented and square still get the same options to double tapping things like that let's get out of this let me show you the other way where it's implemented Google Maps go ahead and put up the maps application here push this off to the side pinch and zoom is in full effect go in right side that up and again works just as well as it does on any other multi-touch device it's quick it's fast and adds a really nice feature add I'd say to Android but that's not it that's not the only place where you get that let's take a look at the gallery here's a picture I took her just my keyboard as a test and zoom in zoom out really makes for a very nice picture viewing especially on the screen here like the nexus one it's just so big it really can that almost be too big for a picture you can see that helps extends outside there anyway she wanted to give you guys a quick demonstration of multi-touch on the Android device in particular here the nexus one it works and in my review the nexus one I gave it a 4.75 I sort of lost that quarter of a point because didn't have multitouch on revising my review and giving it a complete five I could see myself using the nexus one every day and being thrilled with it it's a great device Android is really come into its own when it now offers a fantastic extremely competitive feature side with any mobile phone out there and I guess jon rettinger hope you enjoyed I will see you in the next video
