Both iOS and Android make the generic click event seem unresponsive compared to their desktop counterparts. Whatever the motivation for that was, it makes building responsive web mobile apps a lot harder.

While jQuery Mobile offers a solution for this issue (https://github.com/jquery/jquery-mobile/blob/master/js/jquery.mobile.vmouse.js), its a pretty complex implementation and very hard to apply outside the context of jQuery Mobile itself.

Obviously an incomplete description, but I hope to at least start a discussion around this.
