It is very simple to implement touch events in iPhone application. The touch event is defined in the UIResponder which is the super class UIView. So for any UI controls, simply add the following piece of code to handle the touch events.
-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
NSLog(@"You touched %d times!", [[touches anyObject] tapCount]);
}
Try to tap the UI controls you will get the following debug output.

The UIResponder also provide touchesMoved, touchesEnded, touchesCancelled in respond to touch events.
