New Gestures Coming to iPhone OS 3.2?

The latest beta (4) of the iPhone OS 3.2 SDK shows evidence of a couple of new gestures that appear to be coming to the iPhone. The new gestures are triple-tap and long press.

9to5Mac has been trolling through the latest SDKs, and it found two new files, 3Tap.plist and LongPress.plist that didn’t exist before.

Of course, there is already a long press used in the OS to bring up the Cut/Copy/Paste menu, among other things, so its unclear what the LongPress.plist would refer to. These aren’t game changing modifications to the OS, at any rate.

On the bad news front, for those who have been hoping, it also appears the more trolling through the SDK showed the Video Chat files that had been found by 9to5Mac earlier have been removed. It’s unclear if they have been removed because it was a mistake, and that the feature was never coming, or that it’s been removed to stop speculation.

At any rate, if Video Chat were to come out, it probably wouldn’t be of use to anyone with a current-gen or older iPhone.
