Pretty cool ... reminds me of ratchet http://maker.github.io/ratchet/ Why would you use that only for prototyping and not in production?

Actually, you could. :) It's really inspired by Ratchet that's probably why it reminds of you of it.

I'm already thinking of putting up a tutorial on how to integrate it with PhoneGap. So let's all hope that comes out soon. Cheers!

That would be awesome! Thanks for the great work ... Companies like Google should be in charge to maintain these kind of projects as it's going to bring a higher volume of developers to their platform!

I am really looking forward to the phonegap integration.

Another reason for me to write it then. :)

How is it different from using jQuery Mobile with phonegap(cordova) ,just curious.

It's not all that different. Although, Fries aims to deliver components just how you'd see them in a native Android app (check out Android Holo Dark theme) and employs Android UI guidelines. Most prototyping frameworks out there all look iOS-ish. That's where Fries is different.
