(OTA) Multitouch now official on N1 in Browser, Gallery, Maps

[kafkef]

just received my notice for the update

Where are you located? Are they rolling out US first or international?

 

[oniongirl]

I don't get it, it's not the first multi-touch android. Weren't android phones in the UK shipped with multitouch enabled in stock apps?

But still, am very pleased to see this is on its way. Good job Google

I am located in cali, i can confirm the multitouch

sorry im at work so i cant post pics or a video but i assume most will get it today but the update you will see a lil android with an open box next to it showing its being updating

Hope UK doesn't have to wait longer!

Can someone confirm this can be done through a wifi connection? Not really experienced android/OTA updates.

 

[adamlovesu]

More importantly does the multi touch affect the palm touching the screen problem and is it enabled on the keyboard?

that's the only reason I want multi-touch. My brain's not wired right for pinch-and-zoom, I always do it the wrong way so I'm not too bothered about that.

Do want! Why isn't there a way of forcing an update? :-(

this is exactly the reason why carrier-less handsets are the wave of the future... no carrier to get in the way of slowing down or preventing an OS update.... how often have carriers been either slow or reluctant to release updates... vzw, t-mo, at&t.... they're all guilty at one point or another on a multitude of devices... only apple, and now google appear to be doing it right... updates when they are needed and ready... not when some bean counter at a carrier decides so....

You got that right! I had to wait a FULL YEAR before my Blackberry 9000 got it's FIRST OS update!

AT&T farted around like nothing I've ever seen before so this update coming from Google after only a month is huge for me.

Some who has the update please test and post results.

Good news. Pretty impressive timing for an update. This might just boost sales of the N1, here's hoping anyway.

 

[mi_canuck]

it was part of their plan... see how many they could sell without it... then... BLAM-O!!!

and of course, to p!ss off Apple too...

 

[lutherinlondon]

whoo... hoo.... good news all round.

Has anyone found out how non-USA users will be getting this update?

 

[afine1]

yyyyyyeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

 

[adamlovesu]

Guys, those of you who have gotten and applied the update. Please, PM me with your update.zip file!

I need to get this to Droid devs ASAP!

EDIT: more info, it should be on the root of your sdcard.

[markouk]

So is it possible to apply this update offline. For example does it save somewhere on the N1 and can someone rip it off and share it here? Would save me waiting for it ;-)

 

[daffyduck]
