title: Standalone jQuery "touch" method?
body: <p>So, I'm looking to implement the ability for a plugin I wrote to read a touch "swipe" from a touch-capable internet device, like an iPhone, iPad or android.</p>
  
  <p>Is there anything out there? I'm not looking for something as full as jQtouch, though was considering reverse engineering the code I would need out of it.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions on the best way to approach this? A snippet of code already available?</p>
  
  <p>Addendum: I realize in hindsight the solution won't strictly be jQuery, as I'm pretty sure there aren't any built-in methods to handle this. I would expect standard Javascript to find itself in the answer.</p>
