HTML5 Drag and Drop API on Touch Screen Devices

There are some native HTML5 Events that works in WebKit (Chrome & Safari) … only mobile versions.
The name of these events are touchstart, touchmove, touchend, touchcancel

An example to reposition an element with touch is:

$(document).bind("touchstart", function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var orig = e.originalEvent;
var x = orig.changedTouches[0].pageX;
var y = orig.changedTouches[0].pageY;

$("#element").css({top: y, left: x});
});

BTW I prefer to work with webkit-transform (CSS properties) ’cause it has a better performance.
