Hi, I have a question; why doesn't the android browser pinch zoom multi touch feel quite right?
Answer? Because it's weird! Here's the thing: pinch zoom is not a gesture, it's an interaction with the page. So, what it shouldn't be is measuring the change in distance between your fingers and then scaling what your're viewing by a certain amount. What it should be is pinning your fingers to places on the page, and as they move scaling *and moving* the page in order to keep your fingers on the same places on the page. This is what happens (give or take) on the gallery - so why not on the browser. This is particularly useful when you want to zoom in on something in one corner of the page - you stick your fingers on the corners of it, and then move them to the far sides of the screen. Unfortunately, with the current implementation, it zooms in on the centre of the page (actually, somewhere in the direction of where your fingers are, but not quite there!), and you're left having to then scroll after zooming. Unnecessary. I hope that makes sense to someone who thinks it'd be worth implementing... I certainly think so!
