browser detection of touch browsing

This is an interesting article. Speaks to device independence. Perhaps we
need something in GL 4. Alistair talks about a JavaScript to do the
sniffing. Though it seems the browser should communicate or translate the
user keypress/movement/etc javascript or server so the functionality of the
site is not impaired.
