Google Nexus One owners will be getting an Over-The-Air (OTA) update today.  Most importantly, the updates fixes the “issues” with T-Mobile 3G drop-outs. It has some great enhancements including:

• Pinch-to-Zoom- gives users zooming via pinch in the browser, maps and photos. Opening the pinch zooms out, closing the pinch zooms in. This is a great multi-touch addition.
  
• Google Maps V.3.4- that syncs map preferences between your computer and Nexus One when told to.
• Google Googgles Pre-Loaded- Google Goggles is now pre-load and available from the menu.

The OTA update may take as long as week to get to your Nexus One.  You will receive a message on your phone’s notification bar. Tap on the update wait for it to install, the Nexus One may then reboot.
