Jquery Mobile dramatically reduce cost of cross platform mobile development

Internet traffic over mobile networks continue to grow in the beginning of 2012, and the mobile market is split into an increasing amount of mobile phones and tablet devices. It is becoming more important than ever to find solutions to build and maintain apps for several phones at once. One unified solution that has grown rapidly (170%+ demand) in demand is Jquery Mobile. It's built upon the popular Javascript framework JQuery and promises compatability with the following devices:

Apple iOS 3-5
Android 2.1, 2.2, 2.3
Windows Phone 7
Blackberry 6.0, Blackberry 7
Palm WebOS 1.4-2.0, 3.0

The mobile framework uses HTML5 and CSS3, and comes with Themeroller for Mobile and a handy drag-and-drop UI tool that allows developers to visually explore what the library can do before getting into the nitty gritty. jQuery Mobile 1.1.0 RC1 was relased February 28, 2012 with improved mobile and desktop compability and page transitions. For business applications with less focus on games and graphics, it provides an excellent option to mobile development.
