Gestures !!!

Interactions with interfaces have been changing from past few years. During the initial days of mobile phones, all the interactions with the mobile screen was by using the hard buttons on the device. Then came in the Resistive touch screens that used  a single touch interaction by using either the finger or the stylus. Recent innovations in the touch based user interfaces, such as Capacitive, Amoled, Super Amoled touch screens, have changed the paradigm of the way the user interacts with the interfaces and the data.


The ways with which the user interacts with the interface and hence the data are called Gestures. Few gestures are common across different devices / platforms and few are unique to the platform. Here are couple of resources that have a whole list of different gestures, both common and/or unique across different platforms.
