1302714 2012-09-22 08:36:00 Maybe you're on a mobile website that doesn't allow zooming?.?

Just tried zooming on SWMBO's Android, it was pinch and spread fingers to zoom, worked on several sites, but didn't work on PF1.

Some sites just don't allow it because it's already mobile optimized. It works on the mobile version of pressf1? I can't pinch to zoom on pressf1 on both my TF Prime and the iPod.

Any particular site you're trying to access that wont zoom ?it was stuff. But since I enabled. Force enable zoom, everything seems to work now.

That option isn't there on the iPad version, but have always been able to zoom so have only just looked. Hate how some sites try and force the mobile version on you,

1302722 2012-09-22 11:44:00 I don't like the force mobile idea either, esp annoying as some sites are designed for legacy mobile and some are designed for smartphones... but then you have tablets too so it gets rather messy (from a developer and end users perspective)

Ahh but plod, android IS customisable, as you can see you can force the device to zoom even when it's not supposed to.
