这种方法对我来说很有效，它等待第一次用户交互，以确保他们是在触摸设备上

var touchEnabled = false;
$(document.body).one('touchstart',
    function(e){
        touchEnabled=true;
        $(document.documentElement).addClass("touch");
        // other touch related init 
        //
    }
);

你可以安装modernizer并使用一个简单的触摸事件。这是非常有效的，工作在每一个设备上，我已经测试了它包括窗户表面!

我已经创建了一个jsFiddle

function isTouchDevice(){
    if(Modernizr.hasEvent('touchstart') || navigator.userAgent.search(/Touch/i) != -1){
         alert("is touch");
            return true;
         }else{
            alert("is not touch");
            return false;
    }
}

我喜欢这个:

function isTouchDevice(){
    return window.ontouchstart !== undefined;
}

alert(isTouchDevice());

我认为最好的方法是:

var isTouchDevice =
    (('ontouchstart' in window) ||
    (navigator.maxTouchPoints > 0) ||
    (navigator.msMaxTouchPoints > 0));
if(!isTouchDevice){
    /* Code for touch device /*
}else{
    /* Code for non touch device */
}

看看这篇文章，它给出了一个非常好的代码片段，告诉你当检测到触摸设备时该怎么做，或者如果touchstart事件被调用了该怎么做:

$(function(){
  if(window.Touch) {
    touch_detect.auto_detected();
  } else {
    document.ontouchstart = touch_detect.surface;
  }
}); // End loaded jQuery
var touch_detect = {
  auto_detected: function(event){
    /* add everything you want to do onLoad here (eg. activating hover controls) */
    alert('this was auto detected');
    activateTouchArea();
  },
  surface: function(event){
    /* add everything you want to do ontouchstart here (eg. drag & drop) - you can fire this in both places */
    alert('this was detected by touching');
    activateTouchArea();
  }
}; // touch_detect
function activateTouchArea(){
  /* make sure our screen doesn't scroll when we move the "touchable area" */
  var element = document.getElementById('element_id');
  element.addEventListener("touchstart", touchStart, false);
}
function touchStart(event) {
  /* modularize preventing the default behavior so we can use it again */
  event.preventDefault();
}

看起来Chrome 24现在支持触摸事件了，可能是Windows 8。所以这里发布的代码不再有效。而不是试图检测触摸是否支持浏览器，我现在绑定触摸和点击事件，并确保只有一个被调用:

myCustomBind = function(controlName, callback) {

  $(controlName).bind('touchend click', function(e) {
    e.stopPropagation();
    e.preventDefault();

    callback.call();
  });
};

然后调用它:

myCustomBind('#mnuRealtime', function () { ... });

希望这能有所帮助!
