Touch method efficient?

I'm using a basic method of determining touch and positioning a collider at the touch position which will interact with game objects. Is this an ok way of working with touch or should I be using a different method. The use is for touching various objects that are floating about. Camera is orthographic.

code below is for collider:

var hit : RaycastHit;

function Update () { var ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay (Input.mousePosition); for(touch in iPhoneInput.touches) { if (Physics.Raycast (ray, hit, 100)) { if(touch.phase == iPhoneTouchPhase.Moved || touch.phase == iPhoneTouchPhase.Began) { transform.position = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(new Vector3 (touch.position.x, touch.position.y, 10)); } } } }

I'd say that's a pretty standard approach. You want to keep as much code as possible out of the Update function, but in this case it's fine. I'm not an iPhone guy so not sure if you can move the iPhoneTouchPhase into a function or coroutine that you call from the Update, but otherwise it seems fine.
