Is it possible to allow users to drag and drop items in mobile safari? Google images on the iPhone does something similar, but I'm not sure if it is true drag and drop or some other work around. Anyone have any insights?

Drag and Drop (DnD) is powerful User Interface concept which makes it easy to copy, reorder and deletion of items with the help of mouse clicks. This allows the user to click and hold the mouse button down over an element, drag it to another location, and release the mouse button to drop the element there.
In computer graphical user interfaces, drag and drop is a pointing device gesture in which the user selects a virtual object by "grabbing" it and dragging it to a different location or onto another virtual object.
Yes, it's possible. You have to disable the default of safari moving around. A few examples and links that might help you: http://tlrobinson.net/iphone/lighttable/ http://rossboucher.com/2008/08/19/iphone-touch-events-in-javascript/

In general, yes. Mobile Safari supports most of the standard mouse events for touches (as well as some specific touch-related events). Others, like mouseover, it doesn't support at all. You can get more specific information in the Safari Web Content Guide.
