jQuery Mobile natively provides us with the ability to capture the swipeleft and swiperight. It does not however offer us swipeup and swipedown out of the box. Adapting what the jQuery team has done for swipeleft and swiperight, we are able to create and capture those events in the same manner. See the following code to implement swipeup and swipedown:

(function() {
    var supportTouch = $.support.touch,
            scrollEvent = "touchmove scroll",
            touchStartEvent = supportTouch ? "touchstart" : "mousedown",
            touchStopEvent = supportTouch ? "touchend" : "mouseup",
            touchMoveEvent = supportTouch ? "touchmove" : "mousemove";
    $.event.special.swipeupdown = {
        setup: function() {
            var thisObject = this;
            var $this = $(thisObject);
            $this.bind(touchStartEvent, function(event) {
                var data = event.originalEvent.touches ?
                        event.originalEvent.touches[ 0 ] :
                        event,
                        start = {
                            time: (new Date).getTime(),
                            coords: [ data.pageX, data.pageY ],
                            origin: $(event.target)
                        },
                        stop;

                function moveHandler(event) {
                    if (!start) {
                        return;
                    }
                    var data = event.originalEvent.touches ?
                            event.originalEvent.touches[ 0 ] :
                            event;
                    stop = {
                        time: (new Date).getTime(),
                        coords: [ data.pageX, data.pageY ]
                    };

                    // prevent scrolling
                    if (Math.abs(start.coords[1] - stop.coords[1]) > 10) {
                        event.preventDefault();
                    }
                }
                $this
                        .bind(touchMoveEvent, moveHandler)
                        .one(touchStopEvent, function(event) {
                    $this.unbind(touchMoveEvent, moveHandler);
                    if (start && stop) {
                        if (stop.time - start.time < 1000 &&
                                Math.abs(start.coords[1] - stop.coords[1]) > 30 &&
                                Math.abs(start.coords[0] - stop.coords[0]) < 75) {
                            start.origin
                                    .trigger("swipeupdown")
                                    .trigger(start.coords[1] > stop.coords[1] ? "swipeup" : "swipedown");
                        }
                    }
                    start = stop = undefined;
                });
            });
        }
    };
    $.each({
        swipedown: "swipeupdown",
        swipeup: "swipeupdown"
    }, function(event, sourceEvent){
        $.event.special[event] = {
            setup: function(){
                $(this).bind(sourceEvent, $.noop);
            }
        };
    });

})();
