IE mobile will be tricky, as I don't own an IE device. If they have an emulator available, that will be the best I can try it on.

However I have already started on adding touch support for iOS (I own an iPad 3). I recently added support to use HTML input 'range' type for sliders (where available), specifically because they tend to work better on touch devices then a custom slider.

Right now I've started unifying the mouse and touch events. That way it should 'just work'.

I'm currently reading about the mess that are touch events (but i probably should say the mess that is mobile)

At the end of this post by rey bango, i've found IE10 is said to create a newly-abstracted pointer event type ( one unifying touch and mouse events, even stylus).

There's even a recent post on blog.jquery.com summarizing history of touch events and revealing patent mess also ...

And finally, a spec documentation on MDN : https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/Touch_events

Glad, you're working on it !!!
