Hi James
There are a few 'Utiliites' out there which say you can 'Cross Platform' develop and then deploy onto the relevant piece of hrdware, but I guess JQueryMobile is not one of these.
regards,
Gerard



>The short answer is no. This is a web app. But, the HTML5 specification does say it will support local storage. Now the issue is if the phone does not support html 5 (WP7) then that will not work as well. I think that the only way to have native support for multiple brands of phones is to write an app for each platform. BTW, since WP7 is really only supporting Silverlight, does Silverlight have local data support?

>>Hi James. Thnaks for that.
>>Can you run jQM , disconnected,(i.e. can you download the app to the device and have not internet connection) on Android, Iphone and WM7.

>>Lots of our users want this type of functionality because Connectivity can be so bad, but we cannot dictate what sort of unit they will have

>>>I have been using it now for about 4 months. It helps making a web app look more like a mobile app. Here is what I have working so far. It is not yet complete but getting closer. www.rcsfind.com. It will not work with < ID8 but will work with Chrome and FF. Using a browser, you will get an ugly page with a yellow header. Click on Old Version to see what JQM is doing for me. The GPS search will not work for you but you can go to "Select Area" and see more that way. Use 1200 for the address search.

>>>UPDATE: I should have added that the app does not look all that well an a browser unless you size it down to the size of a smart phone. Also, once the main page is loaded, all data access is done through ajax. Much quicker then reloading the pages all the time.
