I'm looking for the best solution to adding both doubletap and longtap events for use with jQuery's live(), bind() and trigger(). I rolled my own quick solution, but it's a little buggy. Does anyone have plugins they would recommend, or implentations of their own they'd like to share?

It has been reported to jQuery as a bug, but as doubletapping isn't the same as doubleclicking, it does not have a high priority. However, mastermind Raul Sanchez coded a jquery solution for doubletap which you can probably use!
Here's the link, works on mobile Safari.

It's easy to use:

$('selector').doubletap(function() {});

-edit-

And there's a longtap plugin here! You can see a demo on your iPad or iPhone here.
