Pinch-to-zoom coming soon to the Sony Ericsson X10

Sony Ericsson once said multi-touch is not ever coming to the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 smartphone but now, under the users and developers community pressure, the company finally found a way to enable pinch zooming on the X10.

Sony Ericsson first said that there were some hardware limitations stopping its team from enabling the multi-touch support on the XPERIA X10 but as it turned out a couple of weeks back, the company did not give its device the multi-touch blessing just because Sony Ericsson did not want to.

But now, thanks to the numerous unhappy customers, the company finally decided to start working on enabling the pinch-to-zoom on its Eclair-serving toy. The multi-touch input method will be enabled in the web browser and the Google maps app and is coming some time in Q1 2011 via an Over-the-Air software update.
