Web site 9to5Mac found a couple of new gestures in the Apple 3.2 beta 4 SDK that weren't in previous versions of the software. In the Gestures library folder was “3Tap.plist” and “LongPress.plist". Currently, triple tapping on the iPhone screen does nothing. On the other hand, a long press on the handset's screen brings up a contextual menu to "Cut" and "Paste". Developers will get to use these two gestures for whatever app they are working on, and we could even see these new gestures on the iPad. Will these now also be covered by existing patents or will Apple have to get Jacoby and Meyers on the phone to make an addition to the current filing?

I don't think that triple tapping is new for iPhone. I have an iPhone 3gs(3.1.3) and it has triple tapping to zoom in when you are on the home screen. Still iPhone rules. Long live iPhone.....:)

I totally agree on this. Apple should stop messing around with others over senseless issues. Also should allow jailbreaking.....lol some things you just can't get.....
