That sucks, as that feature is one of the things that really makes the iPad click for me. If the Android tablets can't use it, hopefully they can be creative and come up with something that works just as well. Or win in court and get the patent tossed out!

I bet thats also why they 'HAD' to refuse that app dawnfalcon was on about! it was an image viewer that was rejected for using pinch to zoom. I guess if apple had ok'd teh app then in effect it would be harder for them to enforce such a copyright on others eg HTC
