Mouse Events on iOS Touch Devices

Question

I've noticed that mouse events like CLICK and MOUSE_DOWN work on the iPhone and iTouch devices.  Is there a down side to using Mouse events instead of the Gesture and touch events?

I used before mouseClick until I had to make two options with one finger.
Play song one a click
Sync song with finger move over component.
