#TouchSwipe 1.5 A jquery plugin to be used on touch devices such as iPad, iPhone, android etc

Detects single and multiple finger swipes, pinches and falls back to mouse 'drags' on the desktop.

Time and distance thresholds can be set to destinguish between swipe gesture and slow drag.

Allows exclusion of child elements (interactive elements) as well allowing page scrolling or page zooming depending on configuration.

• 1.3.2 2012-29-07
