When I compared the Verizon Droid to the iPhone 3GS last week, I said that the Droid didn't have multi-touch input--based on the fact that I'd used it a lot and encountered no instances when it did. A commenter said that the phone did indeed support multi-touch, and I tweaked my item. Essentially, the phone is capable of multi-touch; it just chooses not to use it.
Today, Rob Jackson of Phandroid pointed out that the Android image editor Picsay uses multi-touch, and serves as proof that the Droid can do it. He's right, and Picsay shows the power of controlling your phone with more than one finger at a time. As with iPhone applications, it lets zoom in and out of images by pulling and pinching them. It's wonderfully fluid-at least as good as the iPhone's multi-touch.
