The jMobile library was created as a much lighter and faster jQuery, built specifically for mobile devices. Which means it has a drastically smaller file size (6.8kb minified & gzipped) as compared to jQuery (23kb minified & gzipped).

In addition to core jQuery functionality, jMobile implements geolocation through HTML5 as well with full callback support.

Methods marked with * are only partially implemented.

Pull requests are welcome!

Areas of interest are bug testing this library on mobile devices and integrating core browser functionality, most importantly from HTML5.

This library is based off of jquip, which is based off of jQuery.

The main differentiation is converting the main variable into an object so that it may be extended with core functionality, for example, HTML5's geolocation.
