It might only feel like it, but handsets like the HTC Touch Pro2 are not ancient devices. However, stack the Touch Pro2 up against a recent Android release and it might look like the Touch Pro2 came from another era. For example, while Android handsets use capacitive display that requires a touch from your finger to move things on your screen, Windows Mobile 6.1 phones have a resistive touchscreen that work with the pressure placed on the screen from a finger, pen cap or stylus. The main difference is that while the latter displays are one-touch, the former are multi-touch. So while users of Android phones can use Pinch-to-Zoom in the browser or in the photo gallery, most Windows Mobile 6.1 owners are stuck using things like zoom bars or volume rockers to adjust the size of the image on the phone. But thanks to an app by OndraSter that hopefully will soon see the light of day, Windows Mobile users with build 6 or 6.1 will be able to trick the device into thinking that it is running multi-touch, and as you can see in the videos, you will be able to Pinch-to-Zoom in the browser-which in this case is an Opera Mobile 9.5 browser. While the developer isn’t giving away any secrets, using the app requires you to keep one finger in place while moving the other finger. This would seem to fool the phone into thinking that the screen is being “pinched”. There is no word on when the app will be launched, but when it is, a whole group of Windows Mobile 6 and 6.1 owners are going to feel like they just stepped out of a time machine.
