Pinch to Zoom on Resistive screens for Opera Mobile

It has been a while since i released the beta version of Dual Touch SDK. It seems that my SDK have inspired some talented people to incorporate the idea (not the SDK, they are using their own algorithm so i take no credit) into Opera Mobile.

This is the reasion why i love Windows Mobile, it is so flexible that you can do whatever you want with this platform. I’m sure most of us will miss it when it’s gone. However, i’m sure the next generation Windows Phone 7 will be as Awesome as the current version if not more.

I’ll leave you with the video of the Pinch to Zoom on Opera Mobile.

The massive screen and the lack of KB were the best/worse pros/cons of the HD2. (continue reading…)
