that's cool, how can the n900 do pinch zoom if it doesn't support multi touch? o.O

pinchzoom is a mostly a gimmick imo - only place where i can see the usefulness of multitouch is onscreen keyboards

Hello,
probably many people have seen this kind of tricks. I'm thinking about using this technique for something more interesting than just overrated gesture, so I have made this in Qt as a preparation.
Maybe someone will find it entertaining

You might wanna take a look at this SDK for multitouch on a resistive screen:

How about triple-tap-and (vertical) slide to zoom?

Would go back to volume-keys role after N (5?) seconds releasing the swing button.
The center of the zoom would be the point of the last tap in the triple-tab.

@zimon: nice ideas...
Or perhaps a simpler method is to create a special area in the context menu that pops up when you tap-hold. Maybe just a thin vertical strip on the side of the menu so it doesn't take much screen size, and when you point the stylus in this area the whole context menu becomes transparent and you can control zoom level via vertical movements.

Using stylus is ok, but it should work also without stylus.

There are some apps (numpty physics, microb browser) that have a gesture for sliding from the left edge of the screen onto the screen to bring up a menu. This would be good for zooming--just slide from the left and the zoom slider appears there for a few seconds. Would be both finger and stylus friendly.
It would have been cool if Nokia had allowed us to read touches outside the screen area...a slide up or down on the left or right side would have been a nice gesture.
