Comment (by georgestephanis):

 Pursuant to the discussion with Azaozz and Nacin on 2/18 in #wordpress-ui
 here's my quick draft on a cookie-based detection of touch interfaces ...

 `
 function wp_check_for_touch_ui(){
         if( isset( $_COOKIE['wp_ui_touch'] ) && ( 'true' ==
 $_COOKIE['wp_ui_touch'] ) ) return;
         ?>
         <script>
                 document.ontouchstart = function(){
                         var d = new Date();
                         d.setTime( d.getTime() + ( 60 * 60 * 24 * 7 * 2 *
 1000 ) );
                         expires = d.toGMTString();
                         document.cookie = "wp_ui_touch=true" +
                                 "; expires=" + expires +
                                 "; path=<?php echo SITECOOKIEPATH; ?>" +
                                 "; domain=<?php echo COOKIE_DOMAIN; ?>";
                 }
         </script>
         <?php
 }

 add_action( 'login_footer', 'wp_check_for_touch_ui' );
 // optionally, as it should always catch on the login page ...
 // this will catch future touch events if they somehow make it past the
 login page without touching ...
 add_action( 'admin_footer', 'wp_check_for_touch_ui' );
 `

 It'll normally trigger on  the login page, setting the cookie to be tested
 against either directly or via a function or whatever y'all think is best,
 for including the additional JS and such to make drag/drop and other
 features work on touch-based interfaces.
