jQuery Mobile is a nice, if slightly unpolished due to it's very recent release, framework - but you're right - it's primarily intended for apps and I think it works much better if an app is what you have in mind.
If you're looking to do something not quite app-like, then I'd point you in the direction of Yiibu (specifically this page http://yiibu.com/about/site/) as an example of what you can do. They're experimenting with a mobile first approach, combined with elements of responsive web design and feature detection in order to provide their content to as many mobile devices as possible. If you dig around their site a little bit, you'll see related articles that are well worth the read. I would also recommend the Mobile Web Yahoo group which is quite active and a great resource for mobile web development. http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/mobile-web/ Hope that helps! -- Take care, Tim --------------------------------------------- http://breakingdc.com http://twitter.com/tkadlec http://timkadlec.com On Mon, Dec 20, 2010 at 5:06 PM, tee <weblis...@gmail.com> wrote: > Any one developing Mobile Web has an insight for jQuery Mobile? > > I was studying the framework last night, couldn't quite decide whether it's > best to adapt it to my mobile web development.
