Torch is a wonky device that has both point and touch interaction.

Does pressing the pointing fire a mouse, touch, or both?

Events defined as elements attributes only fire on anchor elements.

Event fires:

<a href="#" ontouchmove="console.log('move');">Move</a>

Event does not fire:

<button ontouchmove="console.log('move');">Move</button>

At the moment, it looks like either the custom Touch Event isn't being dispatched, or the handler is having trouble recognizing it. Unfortunately, TouchEvent documentation for Android's webkit browser is scant at best.

From my understanding, Palm device do not support touch. Will be nice to see if thumbs.js can add touch event handling.

To make it work, you'd have to implement:

• touches
• targetTouches
• changedTouches

See: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/mobile/touch.html#toc-events

Otherwise it's pretty much useless with everything slightly more complex than simple tapping.

It should only be fired on mousedown + mousemove

touchstart and touchend events are not fired on desktop (at least Windows) Chrome 32 (currently, the latest stable version). Previously, they were analagous to mouseup and mousedown events.

This device uses a mobile webkit browser, but does not have touch input.

Does it still support touch events? Does the pointer fire touch events?

As by now, the script requires a document-load event to be fired before it will work.
This makes the script unusable for situations where you would like to add thumbs.js to an already loaded document.

A simple fix for this, would be to wrap the initialization inside a check of the document's readystate.

Instead of the current window.addEventListener-call, it could be something like this:

var init = function() {
    for (var key in eventMap) {
        document.body.addEventListener(key, function(e) {
            // Supports:
            //   - addEventListener
            //   - setAttribute
            var event = createTouchEvent(eventMap[e.type], e);
            e.target.dispatchEvent(event);
            // Supports:
            //   - element.ontouchstart
            var fn = e.target['on' + eventMap[e.type]];
            if (typeof fn === 'function') fn(e);
        }, false);
    }
}

if (document.readyState == "complete" || document.readyState == "loaded") {
    init()
}
else {
    window.addEventListener('load', init, false)
}

Does thumbs.js support:

<a href="#" ontouchstart="fn();">Button</a>

Hello!
Do you plan to add a little bit more touch events, such as: touchenter:mouseenter, touchleave:mouseleave?
Thank you!

All BlackBerry 5 devices fire mouse events - even the Storm (to my understanding).

Just need to make sure that the initEvent function works fine on BrowserField2
