New Gestures coming to an iPhone/iPad near you: triple tap and long press

On the surface, the latest iPhone 3.2 Beta 4 SDK didn’t have much new information.  Diving a little deeper however, we find some very exciting news.  

In the gestures folder, you’ll see two new types of commands (3Tap.plist and LongPress.plist) that are certainly not implemented in the current 3.1 iPhone SDK.  

Apple is likely allowing developers to use these capabilities in the next versions of the OS.  We might even see these in the shipping version of the iPad.    Thanks AL!
