Those who hacked their Nexus One to allow multi-touch no longer need that hack. Google has released a ROM update for the Android powered phone which, among other things, enables multi-touch on the device.

The changes now allow Nexus One users to pinch-to-zoom mechanism in the phone’s Browser, Gallery and Maps applications. The ROM update also adds fixes to 3G connectivity issues Nexus One users were seeing, except for those simply because of T-Mobile’s scanty 3G network.

Other changes:

Google Goggles: (which allows you to use pictures to search the web) 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

The update will come over-the-air, and Google said most users won’t receive notification that the update is available until the end of the week.
