Link below kindly just sent to me. Zoom in and out gestures map to Ctrl+Scroll Wheel so OL apps should enjoy this functionality for mapping zoom control. Rotate and two-finger tap are the only gestures that don't have a default system action.

Now Windows 7 is out (like it or not), there seem to be even more touch screen all-in-one PCs available. I was playing with quite a nice Sony 24" model last night, although unfortunately it was not connect to the Internet. I know that certain actions are connected to mouse events. e.g. double tap = double click, touch-drag-release = click-drag-release, which I guess means that OL-based apps will run quite nicely. But, what about the two finger gestures for "in" and "out". Are these mapped to the scroll wheel? If not, can these gestures be picked up in JS so that OL can include zoom in/out support for them?
