Now that Windows Phone users will have to get used to having capacitive touchscreens (see what we just did there?), let's take a look at exactly what's supported, including multitouch. We'll start with the most basic gesture -- the tap. A single touch on the screen. Or, as Microsoft describes it in the Windows Phone Design and UI Interaction Guide, "Finger down on a single point within a bundled area and back up within a short period of time."
That whet your appetite? Of course it did. Join us after the break for more.
Double tap
Two quick taps within a bounded area.
Pan
Finger down followed by finger move in a single or multiple directions. Pan ends on finger up or when another gesture starts.
Flick
Finger down followed by a quick finger move in a single direction and finger up. Flick can also follow a Pan gesture.
Pinch and Stretch
Two fingers down followed by moving the finger closer/further apart from each other.
Touch and hold
Finger down on a single point within a bounded area for a defined period of time.
