Zooming in/out can be done in several ways:
the "Swirl" gesture: make a circular move with your finger until you get the desired zoom level. "Swirl" right to zoom in and left to zoom out
double tap over the page area you want to resize to zoom it in, double tap again to zoom out
the Volume +/- button also works as a Zoom In/Out button.
Cursor mode: the built-in web browser also support a special "cursor mode", in which a mouse cursor is visible and can be controlled with finger or stylus. This is useful to e.g. select some specific part of text or to control online games in Flash which were made with desktop computers in mind and were optimized for mouse cursor control.
To enter the Cursor mode, swipe finger or stylus over the left edge of the display from left to right, which will show a semi-transparent "mouse cursor button". Tap it to enable the mouse cursor; tap it again to hide it.
