I have successfully implemented the swipeleft and swiperight event in my applications. Testing them in Safari on the Mac works pretty well with minor issues, but the moment I switch over to the iPhone Simulator or iPhone 4, I get weird issues:

• Swiping doesn't always cause the swipe event to trigger. It is inconsistent. You can swipe then tap on the screen and then the event fires.
• This could be due to delay or the iPhone swipe not registering the end location of the event
• Page transitions are random, sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. Usually on the first load of the page, it won't do the transition, but every time after that the transition will occur.
• Swipe event seems delayed sometimes on simulator and iPhone 4

Has anyone else seen these sorts of issues?
Below is somewhat how I am accessing the swipe and navigation...

1. //the view
2. function View(){
3. }
4. 
   
5. View.prototype.setContext = function(context){
6.       //where context is the page container div
   
7.       this.context = context;
   
8. };
9. 
   
10. View.prototype.bindSwipeLeft = function(handler){
11.       this.context.unbind("swipeleft");
          this.context.bind("swipeleft", handler);
    
12. };
13. 
    
14. //the controller
15. function Controller(view){
16.       this.view = view;
    
17. }
18. 
    
19. //only gets called on page create
    
20. Controller.prototype.init = function(context){
21.       //where context is the page container div
22.       this.view.setContext(context);
23.       this.view.bindSwipeLeft(function(){
24.             $.mobile.changePage("path.to.some.file", "slide", false, true);
    
25.       });
    
26. };
