Nexus One OTA out now, improved 3G, maps, and MULTITOUCH!

So Google has opened their ears and heard what the people in the forums had to say. After Joshua Topolsky of Engadget consistently grilled Google’s Android team about not implementing multitouch, it seems they finally caved. Today Google has posted on their Nexus One blog that an OTA update has begun to be pushed out starting now. The update includes Google’s new Google Goggles application pre-installed by default, updates to their maps application, 3G issues we have heard about consistently (and I have been suffering myself), and they are adding multitouch pinch to zoom functionality to the Browser, Maps, and Gallery applications. Welcome news indeed. I believe a thanks goes out to Joshua Topolsky. We did also hear recently that Steve Jobs said Google is trying to kill the iPhone and that the whole Google is not evil slogan is “bull shit”. Maybe this is Google’s way of saying, ‘we hear you Steve’.  We can speculate while constantly checking for updates on our Nexus One’s. The update may not hit your phone today but Google expects everyone to have it by the end of the week.
