One nit to pick: some Android phones do have the pinch-to-zoom enabled in the default browser. I know for a fact that my Droid does, and I believe the Nexus One

  'strue (N1 here) but it does not work all that well. you can also zoom by double-tap or by using a pair of +/- buttons at the bottom of the screen, and I often find myself zooming accidentally by hitting the latter. As a matter of fact I'd say the browser is one of the weaker aspects of the phone. I hope they improve this soon; I'm not sure what impact Android 2.2 will have, but my understanding is that it's only out to developers this week, rather than the general public for a while yet.

    I really, really like the double-tap functionality in the browser. It's great for reading articles and HN. I don't know why he griped about the animation for it - I find it one of the key features of the browser, and would miss it desperately if I used any other phone. I do wish there was an option to disable the +/- buttons from appearing, though - with pinch and double-tap, I never need them..

    Have you tried it on the incredible? Pinch-to-zoom works perfectly on my phone.

  N1 here. but you still get the +- buttons using screen. sucks.
