Google says that starting Tuesday, Nexus One users will begin to receive an over-the-air software update on their phones.

Devices will now "include a new pinch-to-zoom mechanism in the phone's Browser, Gallery and Maps applications."

This doesn’t mean multi-touch will be coming to all Android phones – at least not yet. Google says that multi-touch support is part of the Android 2.0 framework and that its integrated support on the browser, gallery, and Maps applications will be part of the next Android update. But, its up to the carriers and handset makers to roll the updated software to devices. 

Also part of the update:

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

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