Droid 2 sucks. Backup Assistant does not function and wireless does not stay connected. No fix on the horizon according to Verizon. Thanks Verizon for another half baked OS...

It does Multitouch

Having sold these phones since the day it first came out. The phone does multi-touch. There is paint program you can download that allows you to paint with two fingers. Also with new firmware releases, Android also gives you the option of Pinch Zoom.

You are absolutely correct. I bought the phone on launch day (Nov 6th, I think) and the review was written within the first month or so of ownership. At that time of writing, it was pretty clear that the hardware supported multi-touch, but none of the standard factory apps implemented it.

Private PaaS for the Agile Enterprise

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn’t scale? In today’s hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
