jQuery’s mobile strategy involves a unified user interface system that works in popular mobile device platforms, and is built on the easily accessible and extremely robust jQuery and jQuery UI foundation. The platform is actually built on a lightweight codebase built on enhanced features and a flexible design and wonderful themes.
jQuery Mobile can be utilized extensively with multiple mobile platforms but developers should be adept in using it in optimum standards. To make this support for multiple platforms possible, all pages in will be built in clean, semantic HTML which would make it easy for use in any web-enabled device and will sort out the compatibility issues. In devices that actually make sense out of CSS and JavaScript, jQuery Mobile uses different progressive enhancement ideas which can easily and marvelously transform the simple core page in to a fantastically rich and interactive experience that actually makes the most of the power of jQuery and CSS. WAI-ARIA is one of the many accessibility features that are tightly integrated throughout the framework to provide screen reader support and a plethora of assistive technologies.
The jQuery Mobile developers have recently released Beta 3 of jQuery mobile framework in September 2011. The schedule announced says that the first release candidate for version 1.0 will be launched by the end of September.
As of beta 3, jQuery Mobile offers immense support for Apple iOS which is “A-grade” support on Apple iOS 3.2-5.0 beta, along with support for Android platform i.e from Android 2.1-2.3, Android Honeycomb, WP 7, Blackberry, Palm and other mobile platforms. jQuery is also offering support for desktop versions of Chrome 11-13, Firefox 3.6-4.0, IE 7-9 and Opera 10-11.
