Here’s a treat for savvy Canadians that got their hands on the Google Nexus One. Today Google has announced an over-the-air software update to the Nexus One, which among other fixes and features, brings multitouch to the device.

When the Nexus One launched, rumor had it that Google excluded multitouch on the Nexus One because of their relationship with Apple. That seems to no longer be the case.

Check out the feature list below:

• Google Goggles: 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

• Pinch-to-zoom functionality: devices will now include a new pinch-to-zoom mechanism in the phone’s Browser, Gallery and Maps applications

• 3G connectivity: we will provide a general fix to help improve 3G connectivity on some Nexus One phones
