Hey folks,

Touch devices are on the rise. More and more website developers try to optimize their pages for those devices. Until recently the most common solution was to build a mobile version for the website. But with tablets this will most likely change to adjusting the original pages to be touch compatible.

One big issue I encountered are tooltips. There are some websites and web applications relying heavily on storing important informations in some kind of tooltip triggered by hovering the mouse arrow over some interface element - which does not exist on touch devices.

So what do you think is a good universal way to adopt these pages without redesigning the site from scratch? Does this universal way even exist?

My first idea was a tiny touchable question mark but this would hardly be big enough for a finger.
