The Windows Phone 7 supports single and multi touch gestures. I have implemented the Tap, Double Tap and the Touch&Hold gestures using Triggers. You can use them to trigger an Action in Expression Blend.
You first have to reference the GestureTriggersLibrary. Then you add an Action to a control using the Behavior assets. Finally you change the TriggerType using the New button.
The following example has tree TextBlock controls on with a ChangePropertyAction attached to it. This action sets the Text of the red TextBlock (textBlockResult) using the Tap, Double Tap or Touch and Hold GestureTriggers.
There is also a Flick Gesture Trigger which is created by Jocelyn Villaraza. Expect to see more Behaviors, Actions and Triggers for the WP7 soon.

Update 22-7-2010
The beta version doesn't support the IsTapEvent property on ManipulationCompletedEventArgs. I have fixed this using an extension method. You can download the Beta sourcecode from here.
Cheers,
