I think you need to use jQuery Mobile. It has some normalized events, which are quite possibly what you need. Here's a list of special events from jQuery Mobile's API reference: little link.

You care about those:

vmousedown

Normalized event for handling touchstart or mousedown events

vmousemove

Normalized event for handling touchmove or mousemove events

vmouseup

Normalized event for handling touchend or mouseup events
