I'm very interested in this- I'm currently building an app using jQuery+jQuery Mobile and I'm very disappointed with jQM's speed.

However, I'm up against a deadline, so I don't know if I'll have time to implement it, and I can't find any documentation or examples anywhere- are there any? That'll be key to working out if I can transition my code in time.

The idea is , sure, but can it? Zepto is supposed to be a drop-in replacement too, and it definitely isn't.

Well, as an observer of these things, sign up for the beta and let me know how it works out.

Mostly because it's almost impossible to know. It might work with all of the functionality I use on a normal day, but then I'll try to branch out at some point in the future and discover that it's broken.

The developers are the ones who know what functionality is replicated and what isn't- going through myself and testing seems like a huge waste of time.

does anyone know if it's compatible with backbone like zepto can drop in and replace jquery on mobile?

It might take a bit shimming to get it to work but JQ.mobi supports a lot of the most obvious methods used by Backbone: .bind(), .unbind(), .html(), .ajax(), .append(), .attr().

It doesn't seem to support .delegate() or .data() though, so you would probably have to shim these (and probably a couple of others that I forgot) yourself.

Hey, here's the git hub account w/ API examples: https://github.com/appMobi/jQ.Mobi

Not really, just run the Backbone test suite and substitute jQuery/Zepto with JQ.Mobi. It shouldn't pass straight away because I'm pretty sure that JQ.Mobi is missing a couple of the functions required by Backbone (see my post a couple of levels up) but it probably wouldn't be a huge deal to write them yourself.
