title: Risks of programming sites with jQuery Mobile?
body: <p>The jQuery team recently launched <a href="http://jquerymobile.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://jquerymobile.com/</a> with the intent of creating a user-interface library for mobile devices.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Our aim is to provide tools to build
    dynamic touch interfaces that will
    adapt gracefully to a range of device
    form factors. The system will include
    both layouts (lists, detail panes,
    overlays) and a rich set of form
    controls and UI widgets (toggles,
    sliders, tabs).</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Overall, it seems <a href="http://jquerymobile.com/gbs/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">support for the framework</a> is really low because most phones ship with crappy browsers. My question, is in two parts. Is it better to support a few browsers with a richer experience or give as many users as possible a merely average experience? This is similar to the question of supporting IE because the question is how much do we care about users with worse browsers? </p>
  
  <p>More importantly, how much developer time is it really worth to build a mobile version of a site that isn't primarily for mobile user?</p>
