Google Updates Nexus One, Unlocks “Pinch-To-Zoom”

Holy crap! Google is pushing out an update to all Nexus One owners this week that unlocks a bevy of features including pinch-to-zoom in Maps, Gallery and Browser. Google Goggles will magically appear as an embedded app, too. Google is also addressing 3G issues. Maps is also being updated with the following features/fixes:

• Starred items synchronized with maps.google.com – access your favorite places from your phone or computer
• Search suggestions from your personal maps.google.com history – makes it easy to search for places you’ve searched for before
• Night mode in Google Maps Navigation – automatically changes your screen at night for easier viewing and driving
