            {
                Debug.WriteLine("check presence\n");

                // read the next gesture
                var gesture = TouchPanel.ReadGesture();
                if (gesture.GestureType == GestureType.Tap | gesture.GestureType == GestureType.Flick | gesture.GestureType == GestureType.Hold)

I think you forgot to initialize the gesture you want to handle.

TouchPanel.EnabledGestures = gestureType;

I've enabled the gestures using TouchPanel.EnabledGestures Property. TouchPanel.EnabledGestures = GestureType.Hold | GestureType.Tap |GestureType.Flick; TouchPanel.IsGestureAvailable is still always false. – Corleone Jun 19 '13 at 14:14
According to the MSDN library, the only way to set it `true` is set `TouchPanel.EnabledGestures`: "_Before gestures can become available, they first must be set with the TouchPanel.EnabledGestures property. If IsGestureAvailable is true, TouchPanel.ReadGesture can be used to read the gesture data._" In which method are you initializing it? – pinckerman Jun 19 '13 at 20:01
