This little nugget of software is itself still in beta, but if you can't wait for the full Milestone firmware port (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/motorola-milestone-firmware-coaxed-into-droid-multi/) to climb out of alpha development, it's a good alternate route to getting your Droid dancing in the "pinch to zoom" (http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/some-more-perspective-on-the-droid-and-multitouch/) party. Once again produced by the good folks over at AllDroid, the patch substitutes the Droid's default browser (http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/motorola-droids-built-in-apps-dont-have-multitouch-support-th/) with the Milestone's multitouch capable (http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/02/motorola-milestone-does-what-droidont/) one -- and from the feedback we're seeing it does so very cleanly and painlessly, whether you're running Android 2.0.1 or 2.1 (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/14/android-2-1-ported-to-droid-no-one-feigns-surprise/). You'll still need to root (http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/12/08/motorola-droid-finally-rooted/) your device first, and some background reading is advisable before jumping in, but then you should be clear for take-off into the world of multitouch browsing. Video evidence after the break.
