I hope I don't write out of line however: In many projects the mobile
support was done platform  specific (e.g. Chrome or Firefox).

Would it be possible to write it so the touch screen support is done
platform independent e.g. through GTK? I don't like GTK but for Qt app I
would leverage Qt to get multi platform.
