On Monday Motorola announced the first GSMGoogle Android 2.0 handset. Dubbed the Milestone, it's quite similar to Verizon's Motorola Droid save for a few changes.

The biggest difference is that the Milestone goes far beyond the Droid with its multitouch support. While the Droid allows you to zooom in and out on the homescreen by double tapping, the Milestone also includesiPhone-like pinch capability.

Hopefully, the Droid will get it since there's really no reason that it doesn't.
