If you’re curious about the inner workings of Google, specifically within the Android realm, this video is fascinating. You’ll also get a little hint of what’s up with multi-touch and insight into Google’s position in the mobile space, among other interesting tidbits.
Since multi-touch is likely one of your burning questions, here is a summary of what Erick said: The platform is multi-touch.

Eric says they made multi-touch decisions “with a full understanding of what we (Google) want.” What about everyone else? Why not have zoom buttons and multi-touch?
