Yes, it's definitely a combination of the device and OS. On many droids 
such as my HTC Incredible running 2.1 and 2.2, the pinch is used by the 
OS to magnify the screen. It's not a browser window resize nor a mouse 
event passed into the browser; it's much like using the screen magnifier 
on other OSs.

That's nice to know though, that some droids do support pinch. Hopefully 
future ones will too, as I like the pinch effect a lot.
