I have this installed on my HTC Dream and it runs great. Check out the thread.

Not even a week after announcing the big multitouch update for its own Nexus One, Google has turned loose a new version of Google Maps that enables pinch-to-zoom support on the Droid.

Of course, it was no secret that Android 2.0 had the framework in place to support this kind of stuff — Moto enabled it all by its lonesome on the Euro-spec Milestone — but it looks like this could be the watershed moment where multitouch finally becomes a must-have feature on Android devices across the board, as Moto CEO Sanjay Jha recently suggested would happen. The new version 3.4′s available as a software update in the Market right now, so grab it if you’ve got your Droid handy.

Although this functionality has been in many of the custom ROMs for rooted devices, its nice to see Google officially supporting multitouch. Video below demonstrating the new Multitouch features.

Lets hope that the Motorola Milestone (Droid) will be receiving it’s 2.1 update soon so it can take part in the multitouch goodness :)
