Well, I was looking at some thread and saw a link to the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERj67oRHeeE, its really slick, and in my opinion better than pinch to zoom(to be honest I never use it, I usually double tap on my itouch).
But its only for x10 mini, is there a chance we might get it on the x10?
Yeah, we're getting it with the 2.1 update.

And yeah, it is super slick.
i guess it's only usable it photo gallery?

You can try the app JusPictures for that. It has a kind of one touch zoom. You can get an idea of what is it gonna be about when we have it.

got the app seems like it's double tap to zoom?
my assumption the single touch zoom is to long press and scroll up or down isn't it? if it work this way then i think this trick is not gonna usable in any browser cause every app got a different preception for long press.
let's say while you long press in dolphin browser what the browser should do? open the menu or zoom?

Dolphin Browser has that zoom. You hold your finger and then +&- appear and you can zoom in or out. Far more better than pinch zoom.

If you doble tap on a photo to zoom, after that you can long press on it and slide to zoom + or -. It´s just to get an idea of what one touch zoom is about. Try it!

I just want to point out the atmosphere in this forum is treating this as a killing function, but i think this can only implement in photo gallery but not in web browsing unless SE develope a browser themself.

I just tried Dolphin for this reason. However it looks like an other type of zoom. Indeed a + and - appear when you hold you finger on the screen. However you have to tap the + or - to zoom, where with the "Xperia one touch zoom" you'll just have to slide your finger up and down.

I figured a lot of people would love this...
When you hit the "home" button it turns your phone into webOS style "cards" display of your recent locations (yes, with previews of the page and all). I personally find it amazing, best task switcher out there, period.
Double-tap takes you all the way to your actual home page.
You can even add shortcut widgets to the bottom under the "cards" or even use it as a secondary in launcher, launcher - if that made any sense.
There's a few similar ones.. I love this but the home tap option to expose all 7 homescreens is gone on this one. s

But really, who wants ****ty digital zoom anyway. If you wanted a nice camera on your phone, you should have bought a Nokia NSeries or something man. TO OP: Don't let that be a deal-breaker for you... I'm sure there will be custom ROMs around in given time that supports zoom and 720p video recording. Hope this helps.

I have the Galaxy S and just upgraded to CM7 nightly's which gives me a similar cam to the Nexus S. I've confirmed with a friend, and there's no zoom on his Nexus S.
I was surprised to find out, that there is no Zoom on the camera any more, as the Galaxy S (stock samsung) camera application supported zoom via the Volume Buttons.
For those saying "oh it's just digital and not optical zoom" is irrelevant. It allows me to take my crappy pixelated photo with out having to crop later before sending. The quality on the camera is sh!t anyways.
I'd personally like optical zoom and it seems like a standard reasonable feature these days.

You have to understand that the Nexus S is meant to be a developer phone so it lacks certain features that can be later added by the developers in the XDA forums.

Developer phone or not it still cost the same as the galaxy s yet they didn't add alot of stuff shouldn't the phone be cheaper guess not more I think about this its just dumb Google is really droppin the ball.

I know there are many keyboard topics, but I just can't find a one that works well on my Play.
-Smart Keyboard (Trial)
*Best keyboard for my needs, but it seriously slows the phone down after a day or two. As soon as I uninstall, everything starts working perfectly again.
-Stock Xperia Play
*Terrible. Doesn't remember contractions and doesn't have the mic button.
-Keyboard from Android 2.3 (free)
*Okay, but has a stupid emoticons symbol where the 'Enter' button should be during sms composition. I dislike the way it handles punctuation after typing out words.
I'm honestly starting to hate this phone because it's such a pain to enter data, no matter what I try. Never had issues on my old iPhone.
What is everyone using? And no, I don't want to use swype.
Thanks!

Did you know that you dont have to swype your finger to type? You can also just type normally without having to change anything. Even normal typing is much better using swype than the stock keyboard. First few days swype pissed me off but now i swear by it

Actually I know what he means (after he explained).
On the iphone it types in the order you PRESS the letters.
On the xplay it types in the order you LIFT your fingers.
So if you press H E but lift the E finger before, it'll appear EH.
Hope that clears it up a little bit, I thought it was just me and I just tried to lift my fingers before pressing again, but checking on an iphone just now I realized it's easier over there. Perhaps it was just the heat of the moment haha.

Well then it looks like he needs a keyboard that supports multitouch. The xperia play supports multitouch already I personally use Swype keyboard but I don't use the slide part and not the tapping so I don't know if it works for you. Try out some android keyboards and see what you like.
But as said above the Xperia play can take up to 4 finger at a time and a developer is planning on expanding it up to 10.
Try this application it proves that the Xperia play supports 4 fingers.

Swype is not on the market. Its here. Sign up and they will send you the download link. Takes a while to get used to but once you do it is way faster than normal typing.
Swype is far superior to a regular keyboard. One of the many reasons I prefer android to ios or blackberry.

Oh I know but sometimes you need to type out the words if you know they wont be in the dictionary like codes, emails, passwords, etc.

Hello, I think I'm gonna buy an s4 but there's one thing that bothers me. It seems like there's no fast way to multitask. Just like the previous galaxy phones you have to hold down the home button to get to the recent app list. I find this painfully slow. Any suggestions for faster multitasking?

The S4 uses the home button to multi task so it isn't as fast as the nexus 4 ( for the menu to appear) but its still fast enough. But if it bothers you than I would suggest a phone without a home button and on screen buttons.
Use a launcher, like Nova. The default gesture to bring up recent apps is to pinch zoom.
Problem solved.
There is also an app which provides the recent button as an on screen button and remains on screen at all times. You can move it around like a chat head.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk HD
Yes I find it slow. Usually I just want to copy paste something or remember something and it takes two seconds to switch back and two seconds to switch forward. Four seconds is a long time these days.
Regarding the Nova launcher, gestures don't work inside apps right?
Samsung should allow customized buttons. I would love to change the menu to multitask.
You should get a HTC One with no home button and a recent apps button. I'm sure you'll love that.
