I built <a href="http://spotwoo.com" rel="nofollow">http://spotwoo.com</a> in a couple of days using jQuery Mobile. Some weird gotchas, but I really enjoyed how quickly I could make something that looked decent. Congrats to the jQuery Mobile team.<p>I've got a couple of clients who've been mumbling about needing mobile apps, and I'm probably going to steer them to jQuery Mobile instead.
Still a bit jarring/jerky when it comes to specific transitions but it's fantastic work for a Beta, and they've come a long way in a short time.<p>Looking forward to hopefully Android 3.0 support.
Its a great platform but I am still finding the animations to be slow and buttons to be a little less responsive, particularly on the blackberrry platform but also on the iOS platform. This is forcing me to explore Sencha Touch. I would rather stick to jQuery mobile (for simplicity) than learn a new framework. Hopefully when its out of beta?
Gotta love any useful-awesome-open-source technology, but I'd also love to ask the following question: how does this differ from Sencha Touch? Is it library versus framework?<p>Obviously, I know the two differ, but I'm not sure of the benefits of jQuery Mobile (besides developer mindshare (which is nothing to be sneezed at)). I use jQuery lots in (clients') smart websites and I use ExtJS/SenchaTouch for RIAs. Is that breakdown still valid? Has jQuery Mobile become a consistent, unified development platform for RIAs? Or is jQueryMobile an awesome mobile Javascript library? Or am I missing some greater point? (<- likely)
I used jQuery Mobile to build the mobile web interface for <a href="http://IOUmate.com" rel="nofollow">http://IOUmate.com</a> because I really like the general approach jQM is taking. It allows you to build a mobile view to a web app instead of creating a separate, monolithic mobile app. jQM makes it easy to provide device-optimized views for URLs instead of requiring custom URLs for different devices. This makes all the difference for an app like I.O.U. Mate which sends out notification emails with plenty of links to different resources (in our case, friends and IOUs). These links just work (without redirects) whether they're opened from a desktop or mobile mail client.<p>I'm looking forward to upgrading I.O.U. Mate to jQM beta very soon, since there have definitely been a few rough spots with page transitions and navigation. However, I'm very impressed with the progress that's been made with each release and the overall direction of the project. Nice work, jQM team!
I've built a webapp for designing websites in jQuery Mobile at <a href="http://www.mobjectify.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.mobjectify.com</a><p>If you're using or evaluating jQM for a project, I would love to get feedback about how useful the tool would be to you.
It looks like an improvement over the alpha but it's still pretty horrible to use on iOS + iPhone 4:<p>Click a link... loading message appears. Wait. Loading message disappears. Pause. View scrolls to the top. User is now totally lost & confused. Has the new page loaded? Pause. View now slides over to the new page. Page wobbles around if like me you were scrolling around the previous view to try and understand where you were. I did this 3-4 times before I gave up exploring the demo site.<p>Based on the demo sites alone, Sencha Touch is still the outright winner in terms of end-user experience. Which is a little unfortunate because I might prefer JQuery for both desktop and mobile-optimised sites
jQuery Mobile + PhoneGap was used for developing Athens Airport Info for Android <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=eu.plusapps.athens.airport" rel="nofollow">https://market.android.com/details?id=eu.plusapps.athens.air...</a>
JQuery Mobile is amazing. Great work guys!
D Sharp Diabetes will be launching soon using JQM. <a href="http://dsharpdiabetes.com" rel="nofollow">http://dsharpdiabetes.com</a>
Keep up the great work. We are looking at jQuery Mobile for <a href="http://infostripe.com" rel="nofollow">http://infostripe.com</a> and am impressed by this update.
imho, they are going the wrong way.<p>the feeling they pass is that 99% of the work is to hide the url bar with convoluted ajax hooks. Just adds programming complexity and bugs. On dolphin browser (most common android one) you see the url bar all the time, unless you are on desktop mode. go figure.<p>I love the work they did on the styling though. Use for the all my mobile sites.
