Do you think Apple is against W3C adopting their implementation of touch events or are they against any non-Safari browser having touch? If it's the former the working group can just adapt the API a bit and rely on libraries to provide the compatibility layer.
- notatoad 15y agoi think that apple wants non-safari browsers to have touch events, but they want non-safari browsers to pay licensing fees for that privilege.
- buster 15y agoWhich probably (and hopefully) won't happen with Firefox.
- glassx 15y agoI don't know... Charging royalties would be a PR disaster that would cost much more than the licensing in the long term, and if the incentive for charging isn't financial, then it means don't really want other browsers to have Safari-compatible touch events... that, or they're just trying to delay their adoption as much as they can.
