Droid Heads to Europe — Picks up Multitouch on the Way
jkOnTheRun —
The Motorola Droid is set to launch in the U.S. in just a few days, and a GSM version has already stormed the shores of Europe.

The GSM version of the Droid, dubbed the Milestone, has gained multitouch in both the photo gallery app and the web browser. Could there be multitouch hope for the U.S. version on Verizon? ...

multitouch input, and we wouldn’t be surprised to see some tweaked
ROMs hit the information superhighway with the functionality ...
