I can't comment on whether Apple would exclude any patent claims relating to this area, if they turn out to be essential claims. Regards, Maciej

As a RIM developer, we do not currently support touch events in our browser; we just map them to mouse events where a mapping exists. We do not currently provide a gesture API at all. We *have* been asked a couple of times if we support touch events, so I do believe there is a non-zero demand for it. Beyond that I don't really have much to say. kats
