    Swipe Gestures could well appear in iPhone version 4 (and, cross... fingers... in version 3) and do remind us of Opera's browser gestures. The key functionality that will win the day, as far as Gestures are concerned, is multi touch. That said, Windows Mobile and even Palm have had swiping gestures for some time as far as we remember.
