Something that all Droid users in the states are waiting for, is multitouch to possibly be ported to their Droids. The European version, Motorola Milestone, has full multitouch implemented in its software. Now the guys from AllDroid has made a port of the default browser, to the Motorola Droid. Check out the video and download info after the break. The port is still in beta, so be careful while updating.

According to Engadget, the Motorola Droid today received a silent firmware update. The update will fix a the “red box” issue when trying to focus. The red box will turn into a green box when the camera has finished focusing.
Motorola today made the Motorola Milestone official. It will be Europe’s version of Motorola Droid. We earlier today reported that it will be feature-wise the same as the Droid, but I have to apologize and tell you that I was wrong :) This version will differ from the Droid in a few very good ways.
It will have a GSM-radio chip, instead of the CDMA-chip. Then, it will also support multi-touch gestures, like the pinch-to-zoom seen on for instance the iPhone. It is weird why this feature isn’t seen on it’s USA version, but I’d guess that the relationship between Apple and Google has something to do with. And the third big thing that differs these two, is the lack of Google Maps Navigation, since it’s not available outside of USA.

According to a German blog, the Motorola Droid will see the light of day in Germany. The phone will be renamed into Motorola Milestone, and it should be feature-wise an identical version of the Droid. The only thing that differs these two beasts, is the lack of a Verizon logo, and an added GSM-radio chip.
The Motorola Milestone will be released in Germany next Monday, on November 9th. It will be carried by O2, with a price of 404,20€(0% VAT).
