The beleaguered XPERIA X10 (unboxed here), Sony Ericsson’s delayed and therefore outdated entry into the Android market is making great progress all of a sudden. Not only did Android 2.1 finally find its way to the sexy handset, but pinch-to-zoom support is coming via an update expected in Q1 of 2011.

The hardware is not optimized for multi-touch support, so things may get wonky in some scenarios. But, as you can see in the video below, basic support is functioning well.

If you’ve been considering your X10′s remaining pocket life, it might be worth holding out for one more update. Let’s just hope it’s not delayed.
