You still need that timer.  Especially for non 3.2.  If you get your touchEnded before your timer is reached it was just a tap.

If the user just taps the button, a UISegmentedControl appears, thus this target is in touch up inside. Now, if the user taps and holds, another type of control appears after a delay so this has to be done in touch down (because the user is still holding), and the user should stop holding the button when the new control appears.
