HTML5 application for PlayBook - how to "handle" gestures?

I was asked to build a playbook app using HTML5. That's the first time I'm going to work with Playbook, and I do not have any experience with it. I googled a bit, and looks like I can use WebWorks to create HTML5 application which can be deployed on Playbook. So that should not be a problem. Here are my questions:

  1. Does that HTML5 app supports gestures (left/right swipe, multitouch, etc)?

  2. If yes - how to capture them (if I'm using jQuery, for example)?

  3. Are there any restrictions in gestures comparing to "native" app?

  4. Can you please point me to the document/tutorial for jQuery and gesture integration with WebWorks?

Thank you.

  1. Yes
  2. Yes, javascript. Or a library like jQuery / jqMobi, etc. Lots out there.
  3. No.
  4. Look at the Kitchen Sink touch/gestures sample.
