Basecamp becomes more finger friendly

Love it. One thing I noticed is that in the example, they are clicking on div elements (I assume) within the html page to trigger the contextual menu. Those div elements contain anchor links, but the demo'er is careful not to click the link.<p>I wonder if it will ever be possible to detect the difference in the user's intention via the browser. The iPhone OS seems to be capable of this; i.e. it feels as though it can detect the difference between a concentrated Push and a slight tap (someone may know for sure - I'm just speaking from user experience). I look forward to seeing how mobile browser APIs evolve to allow richer touch-specific interaction in web apps. Assuming that the current touch paradigm is sticking around for a while.

To illustrate, here is a video that doesn't work on your iPad or iPhone.<p>I don't mean that to come across as snarky. I'm just a little sad that I couldn't watch it sitting here on my back porch.

This looks like an elegant, intuitive solution to the hover problem. It seems to fit right in with the iPad/iPhone's aesthetic as well.<p>I didn't notice any solution for reordering the items, which I believe the desktop-based version provides. Probably not as important as editing and deleting, but I wonder what an appropriate interface for that would be on a touch-based device. Could you tap and hold to activate a drag-and-drop mode like the iPhone/iPad home screen does?
