Just now, I'm trying to improve the UI for the Factory's first iPhone app. While doing this, I've come up with a list of available areas and gestures in a touch-driven app that you can use for actions. I thought I'd put them here so other people could point out where I've gone wrong and what I've forgotten:

• Menus
  • Permanent on-screen menu
  • Transient on-screen menu (requires trigger)
  • Different screen menu (any number of them, requires trigger)
• Static (can be overloaded with function based on position)
  • Single-tap
    • Single-tap 1 touch
    • Single-tap 2 touches
    • Single-tap 3 touches
  • Double-tap
    • Double-tap 1 touch
    • Double-tap 2 touches
    • Double-tap 3 touches
  • Touch and Hold
    • Touch and Hold 1 touch
    • Touch and Hold 2 touches
    • Touch and Hold 3 touches
• Dynamic (Gestures)
  • Touch and Move 1 touch
    • Up
    • Down
    • Left
    • Right
  • Touch and Move 2 touches
    • Up
    • Down
    • Left
    • Right
    • Apart (Zoom)
    • Together (Pinch)
    • Rotate clockwise
    • Rotate anticlockwise
  • Touch and Move 3 touches
    • Up (Swipe)
    • Down (Swipe)
    • Left (Swipe)
    • Right (Swipe)
