I second that @speg. My disappointment went beyond slow transitions though. One instance, for example, was in having "fixed" header/footer on the web-app. The rendition of fixed elements would fade-out and fade-in again once user stopped scrolling. This really felt naive and I decided to do that part myself instead. Obviously, now the situation has improved that we have property 'fixed' acknowledged on the iPad Safar…
I was surprised by the lack of fixed headers/footers, too. They say it's coming, but in the mean time you can use iScroll without any side-effects: http://cubiq.org/iscroll-4 And, as you say, use the 'fixed' CSS in newer Safari versions that support it.

I'm using jQuery Mobile in an app I'm making and I mostly like it. But there's a delay in switching between pages that I just can't track down- all of my pages are local so it's not an AJAX issue. I'm poking through the source code to try and track down the source of the problem, but unless I can find a fix it's going to be the dealbreaker that makes me switch to something else. A shame, because other than this slown…
