It was only last month when we informed you about an emulation software named Haret which enabled Windows phones to run Android OS side by side with Windows Mobile 6.x.

Although iPhone 3GS has a commendable 3.2 megapixel camera, but apart from very basic camera functionality, you can hardly do anything special with it.

Just like the Motorola Droid on Verizon, US version of Nexus One which was launched by Google earlier this week didn't ship with multitouch capabilities in web browser or any of the apps even though the hardware and Android 2.1 OS was fully capable of it.

But now according to this report from Engadget, a phone passed on to the German site Heise has all the multitouch goodness like pinch-to-zoom enabled in the web browser.
