Awesome! How have you found jQuery Mobile? I have experience with jQTouch, and I have noticed Sencha Touch pop up too. Did you look at Sencha? I'm keen to try out jQuery Mobile soon, would love to hear about how it was to develop with it.
@Joel: Overall it's being very impressive, I'm liking how it integrates well with other HTML5 ideals (using data attributes for instance).
It is still an early alpha though and that is evident throughout. iPad styles are often mis-aligned, options are not available or not wired up yet and some events are finicky. But given time I can easily foresee it reaching the popularity of it's big brother.
As for jQT and Sencha, I've used Touch and much of the code has been ported across for example. jQM feels like the natural progression from jQT rather than a competitor anymore. As for Sencha, that's going the whole framework route which is brilliant, but not as easy when you already have an API etc set-up and just want an interface.

Using the new jQuery Mobile library, managed to knock this up today to access an API I've been working on.
