Seriously?
Ok... think about this for a moment.
How else do you do anything on touchscreen, except making a gesture... it's no different than moving a mouse.
This is such an obvious thing that it should NEVER have been patented.
I think the courts are going to dismiss many of Apple's patents when this is all said and done.
And let's not forget, HTC is not without patents of it's own. I'm certain that they can find more than a few that the iPhone infringes on.
