I like some of those abstractions, like the finger vs. hand and one/two/... fingers. Apple doesn't seem interested in playing ball with the W3C to standardize touch events: http://www.w3.org/2012/01/touch-pag-charter http://www.w3.org/2012/01/touch-pag-charter Presumably for that reason, the touch model Microsoft has for Windows 8 looks very different than the Webkit model: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh673557%28v=vs.85%29.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh673557%28v=vs.85%2... So anyone wanting to use touch events cross-platform will need some sort of shim layer for them. Maybe Touchy could help there?
