HTC magic

Will the HTC Magic get an update for android 2.0? And if it does will it support multitouch?

Yes , the Magic will eventually get 2.0 {Éclair} & I'm not sure if it will get Multi-touch for sure , according to the 2.0 Highlights multitouch will be included in the Keyboard and we have already seen it In the app "Picsay" with it's pinch & Zoom.

Only time will fully tell and hopefully Google will clear this up , Our Magic's are hardware wise capable it's just up to Google to allow it within the Android OS now {2.0}!

When should this 2.0 version be expected for the Magic? On Rogers in particular.
And will this be OTA?

Right now my phone says its firmware V1.5

I sent a note to HTC, and they replied that basically it's up to Rogers to request that their phones be updated. Obviously, rogers is having some problems in this area.
If you are concerned about the future upgrade ability of your rogers phone, send them a note and let them know where you stand.
from the response from HTC:

I understand how important it is to have the latest updates for your device. For a ROM update to be released for a phone, the carrier must first request that update. Thus, if Rogers requests that an update be made available for your Magic, the update will be released. Should an update become available for your device, it will be found at the Support page for your device at www.htc.com/ca.
