Add multitouch interface for mobile phones and tablets about polymaps

[natevw]

Has anyone started work on this? I addedhacked in multitouch support to OpenLayers last year (https://github.com/andyet/OpenLayers-Multitouch), and I have a feeling both the journey and the destination would be both faster and much more pleasant on top of Polymaps' foundation.

To my knowledge nobody's tried it yet (publicly, at least). I'd be more than willing to test it out and pull it if you take it on. :)

Scratch that. Tom Carden tried it out (I can't seem to find his fork), but he called his "implemented webkit-specific touch handler" both "experimental" and "crashy":

So I think it's still safe to say that it hasn't yet been done to anyone's satisfaction. ;)

The branch for the experimental and crashy version lives here: https://github.com/simplegeo/polymaps/tree/touch
