There's no zooming on the home screen and there's no zooming in many other places, including default apps. Some people speculate that Google don't want to step on Apple's toes in the light of multi touch patents, so that could be it. Frankly, I don't think basic pinch and pinch-expand to zoom out/in would have much traction in a patent suit from Apple. This was clearly demonstrated prior to the iPhone in things like Microsoft's surface.

I still think Google has long-term promise, much more-so than Palm, but the Droid frankly sucks. What's with that ugly supposed cursor pad on the right of the keyboard? Bigger keys would have been infinitely more useful.

Anyone considering using such a phone to store third-party applications really needs to consider if that's a wise move given their requirements...
