this looks really good. really well thought out. congrats. We are in the process of choosing a mobile JS library for our framework. We were going to go with JQuery Mobile but I am impressed with Kendo. You might get a call from us in the next months. You never know...:-)

Please let me know if you have any questions. I'm happy to assist. In the meanwhile, there's a healthy number of threads happening on our forums: http://www.kendoui.com/forums.aspx Lots of Q&A's worth checking out. Kendo UI Mobile is currently in Beta but I would encourage you to check it out and send us your feedback: http://kendo.uservoice.com/ Alternatively, send your questions to @KendoUI on Twitter.

So what it's impact on page performance?

Your Telerik controls for .Net have a terrible effect on performance for example.

Really nice. Great job guys. One of the things I miss from JQueryUI from ExtJS is the datasources which aren't (AFAIK) an integrated component of the framework. I'll give it a try.

I think it's a bit misleading. jQueryMobile is an official part of jQuery as is jQuery UI, and validation while considered a plugin is ostensibly "official" as the author is a jQueryUI core committer. So while Kendo might be operating under one GPL licensed roof, in the end if you consider all "Official" jQuery projects as one project, they offer a lot more and a MIT license! I know you mentioned those projects as "S…

That's a fair point. jQuery, jQueryUI, and jQuery Mobile are all very much under the same roof.

The plug-ins are a different story. Some are more "official-ish" than others. So a developer using only jQueryUI must research, find, and add these to a project to "build out" a complete starting point.

We're trying to save developers that time, and provide an unified library that's simpler to learn, maintain, and upgrade. I think it's more than semantics, and when you compare performance, you should also see it's more than just features.

Hope that helps.

Performance is one of the things we think we're doing really well with Kendo UI. We're jsPerfing everything we put in Kendo UI to make sure it's as fast as possible.

Ultimately, impact on page performance largely depends on how you use the tools (same goes for .NET). Used correctly, Kendo UI will help you deliver maximum perf for rich UI.

Hope that helps.
