By Sam Deering

Let’s face it we all like to swipe our mobile phones now and again! So, today we’ve gathered 5 jQuery Mobile Swipe plugins/tutorials for you to checkout. Enjoy!

1. jQuery iPhone Swipe Gestures

This plugin uses Mobile Safari’s built in touch events to allow jQuery binding of swipe events to any DOM element. You can override the swipeLeft and swipeRight defaults functions to create your own custom process when the gesture is detected.
