Apple doesn't seem interested in playing ball with the W3C to standardize touch events:
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:

So anyone wanting to use touch events cross-platform will need some sort of shim layer for them. Maybe Touchy could help there?
