i noticed you cross-posted with stackexchange. I posted the answer here, but basically the sample they posted above is designed for mobile browsers. To use an event on the kendo switch in a standard manner, you simply do it like all of their other controls.
$("#mycontrol").data("kendoSwitch").bind("change", function () { alert("change"); });
