At first look you may think this post about DOM motion events on Android is producing garbage output in the tests they way using jquery, the post. But, what if you start with the premise that node.onTouchStart = onMouseOver than say node.onTouchEnd = onMouseOut what I am saying is that they mimicked touch events for webkit on Android maybe by pure subsistution rather than dreaming up a new TouchEvents DOM API on top of webkit.

That means the  fancy fisheye menu or the dock menu once you translate all iphone touch events to mouse events should work  on Android using Touch?  This firing sequence in chooosing an item, mouseover, mouseenter, mousemove, DOMFocusIn after you trasnlate ti ttouch event terms its the sme event sequence on iPhone.

Thus, what does mousemove, mouseup, and mouseenter mean as far as what do they trasnalte to as touch events? ONce we know that we can hack up the fancy dock menus and everything lese and have all cool stuff on Android Webkit Webvuiew as well as iPhone.
