IPHONE - detecting horizontal finger swipe on a UITableView cell

iphone, iphone-sdk-3.0

Solution

here is an implementation http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=532573

but as this changes a default ui behavior its not a very good idea

Problem

I have a UITableView with several cells. This table is to be scrolled vertically. So, vertical finger swipes will scroll the table. Normally an horizontal finger swipe on a table will present an option to delete that cell, like it is on mail. I would like to detect horizontal finger swipes on a cell and use this to trigger a method that will have the table row as a parameter, not to delete the cell. How can this be done? thanks for any help.
