Nexus One OTA update bring multi-touch across the board!

Today an OTA update will start hitting Nexus One users, and it will surely put a smile on their faces.
“Google Goggles: this mobile application will now be available directly on your device by launching it from your All Apps menu. Just use your Nexus One camera to start searching the web

Google Maps: the Maps application with be updated to a new version, Google Maps 3.4, which will include:
-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

Pinch-to-zoom functionality: devices will now include a new pinch-to-zoom mechanism in the phone’s Browser, Gallery and Maps applications

3G connectivity: we will provide a general fix to help improve 3G connectivity on some Nexus One phones”

So what seemed like a simple 3G update has turned into a very important update that was much needed.  Their were complaints abound when the Nexus One came out sans multitouch in the browser and gallery. Now one of the most touted features that the iPhone has had forever is now on Android, officially. Multitouch is not an iPhone only functionality, that one phone had it.. forgot the name… oh yeah, the Pre, as well as the HTC Hero, but I’m glad that Google has made this official and has added it to stock applications.

So what do you think, With flash 10.1  on track for the first half of this year, and now with multitouch in the browser, gallery and maps, how much do you think it would sway someone to leave their iPhone and go Android?
