add swipe effect for the jquery fancybox lightbox

Fancybox has a full support and works fine on desktop platforms, however mobile/touch devices don't support the :hover state property therefore, if displaying a fancybox gallery like :

<a class="fancybox" rel="gallery" href="image01.jpg">01</a>
<a class="fancybox" rel="gallery" href="image02.jpg">02</a>
<a class="fancybox" rel="gallery" href="image03.jpg">03</a>
... etc.

and this simple code :

$(".fancybox").fancybox();

fancybox navigation arrows would need a double-click to move to the next item, one to show the navigation arrow (:hover) and other to actually advance to the next/prev item.

The question is : does fancybox have a swipe functionality for ipad, iphone etc. ? If not, how it can be implemented using jQuery?
