Google has announced that its Nexus One smartphone will be up-graded.

The new up-grade will include multi-touch capabilities, enabling the phone to work in a similar way to Apple’s iPhone, in that users can pinch their fingers to zoom in and out. A feature that other smartphones such as the Palm Pre already came installed with.

The new up-grade will also include additional software improvements and fixes to technical bugs. It will tackle some of the commonly complained about 3G problems.

One of the software improvements is to the Maps application, making it a lot easier for users to save places of interest and revisit them at a later date. The maps application will also be enriched with a night mode, which will automatically adjust the users screen if they are viewing maps in the dark.

The up-dates can be downloaded directly onto the Nexus One via the phone’s internet, without having to go into a store or onto a computer.
