Detecting iPhone Swipe with jQuery

I'm simply looking for a listener that will detect the swipe of a finger on a touch device.

For example;

 if (swipe.direction == 'left' ) {
     function();
 }

A much nicer plugin for handling swipes ( if that's all you want ) is Touch Swipe.

I found the touchwipe to be pretty rubbish, and I always find jQueryMobile way to heavy when all you want is this functionality.

With jQueryMobile you can use several events, such as swipe, or even swipeleft, swiperight, tap, etc.
