The idea is to drop in and replace jquery on mobile.

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

On a side note, the graphic that illustrates code size compared to Zepto and jQuery libraries is a bit misleading.

The shading and reflections suggest that the objects on the illustration are spheres, for which the volume ratio of jQuery to jQ.Mobi is about 500:1. If the objects are circles then the area ratio is still around 60:1.

One can argue that it's more or less OK for the radius ratio, but IMO the chart gives a falsy impression in general.

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

Buggy as all hell. Clicking on average takes two to get the UI to respond, the iOS transitions are awful and momentum scrolling is really bugged. No way you could use this on a proaction app.

Did RWW even try it out before they wrote about it?

The claim they do not implement the majority of JQuery's APIs, only the most used ones, so I guess it depends on how much of JQuery you actually use.

From their blog: "If you have seen our jQ.Mobi video, you’ll see we outline problems with jQueryMobile."

Where's the video?
