Pin Zoom in xScope

With Apple enforcing their multitouch patents, nothing like a fresh and original idea that does away with the pinch-to-zoom method used on the iPhone.

I present you xScope's Pin Zoom.

Although xScope also supports pinch to zoom in multitouch android devices, this Pin Zoom function looks a lot better: not only working even without multitouch support, but also allowing for single hand operation - something that's almost impossible to do with the pinch to zoom (just try it out, go on.)

It's quite simple:

1. Tap on the screen
2. Tap and hold on the same place
3. Slide your finger to zoom in/out

You can see it in action in the following video:


If you aren't ready for a touch screen mobile phone, then you'll better start worrying, as these type of devices are becoming harder and harder to find..
