jQuery Mobile aims to fill the gap in mobile web development by providing a framework that works across all major mobile platforms and browsers without sacrificing the user experience. It is a two-phase project: phase one focuses on making jQuery core functionality work across all popular mobile browsers through testing and bug fixes; phase two introduces jQuery Mobile, a framework for building mobile websites and applications with widgets, layouts, and a progressive enhancement approach to ensure broad compatibility.
