Touch gestures not working on Windows Phone 8 / IE10?

Hi,

In the release notes for v3.4 it says "Support for Internet Explorer 10 and it's touch event model". I have tried a few of the samples on a Windows Phone 8 running IE 10, and touch gestures doesn't seem to work. Is this supposed to work? Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.

The reason the samples aren't working is because they include the following meta tag:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7,IE=9">

We'll be updating this tag in the samples shortly to update the tag. Try modifying one of the samples to use the following tag and the sample should work in IE 10.

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">

I've had success by just adding 'IE=10' to the content list. My maps will work with either touch or mouse in IE but only touch will work in Mozilla.

What the differences between 'IE=10' and 'IE=edge'?

Thank you Kelly. I didn't notice the meta-tag. Now it works great.

I pretty sure "IE=Edge" means the highest version possible, as opposed to a specific version.
