Google crippling Droid's Multi-touch in the US for fear of Apple's lawyers?

"iDon’t do multi-touch"

This one from Gealog might be a typing error but it seems a bit conspicuous.  Motorola Droid for Europe (A.K.A. the Milestone) lists pinch-and-zoom as one of the features in the Interface section. The U.S. Web site for the Droid does not list pinch-and-zoom as one of the features in the Interface section.  Is Google still afraid to enable full multi-touch on Android (in the US) based on the fact that Apple asked them not to.   Or is Apple legal doing the asking?  Or Elan?  Or even Palm?
