Yes, pinch to zoom works nicely. I've found the screen sometimes doesn't seem to respond, though.

Do they normally take so long to download?
Turns out you have to go into Settings and enable download of apps from outside the Google Android Market. Funny, really, as the Google Android Market isn't even accessible on it Apps normally download very quickly, assuming you have a reasonable Wifi connection.

Shouldn't be any different from using a laptop in these locations...

Yes, definitely. Even though somethings aren't visible upfront, they still run in the background.
