To people that develop mobile websites/web apps
Note that the “click” DOM event takes a lot to react on mobile devices. I have made some tests, it sometimes takes around 400ms which is practically tragic.
I stumbled upon this article http://floatlearning.com/2011/03/developing-better-phonegap-apps/ that might help you fix the 400ms click delay on mobile websites/web apps. If you implement this for desktop web apps that should also work on mobile devices, use a fallback to the click event since desktops don’t emulate touchstart/touchend.
