This is the Motorola Milestone. It will have multi-touch.
This is a sad day. The Motorola Droid, which will become available in the United States in only a few days, will be missing a key feature that its counterpart in Europe, the Motorola Milestone will in fact have.
Yes indeed, the Droid will apparently not have the multi-touch capabilities that the Milestone has. If you are wondering what that is, it’s simply the pinch and zoom feature that comes in handy on-screen.
The folks over at Gearlog bring up something to think about:
Is Motorola afraid of getting sued by Apple over a patent?
Well, that wouldn’t make much sense since Palm has multi-touch capabilities on the Pre and they haven’t been sued yet, they’ve just been messed with via iTunes for several months now. So, what’s the deal here Motorola?
Maybe its Verizon’s doing?
Well, it doesn’t really matter anyway because developers will take advantage of the Droid’s “open source” and enable the multi-touch feature, probably within a few weeks.
Still, major bummer for those of us in the US.
