Why not use the jQuery Event API?

I've used this simple event with success. It's clean, namespaceable and flexible enough to improve upon.

var isMobile = /Android|webOS|iPhone|iPad|iPod|BlackBerry/i.test(navigator.userAgent);
var eventType = isMobile ? "touchstart" : "click";

jQuery.event.special.touchclick = {
  bindType: eventType,
  delegateType: eventType
};
