TouchCarousel is a posts content slider WordPress plugin with touch navigation for mobile devices. You can slide custom post types, with custom taxonomies (categories, tags, e.t.c.) and create layout templates using simple templating system. It’s created based on TouchCarousel jQuery plugin, selling on CodeCanyon.
New RoyalSlider for WordPress now supports posts sliding, I recommend using it instead of TouchCarousel when you don’t need multiple items in one slide.

You should know before you buy:
Layouts may vary depending on your theme CSS (but not much), skins are rendered exactly the same across any theme. Video inside carousel will block touch navigation, use lightbox to open it. You can use inputs inside carousel, but you should add “non-draggable” css class to them to allow default browser action.
