I would like to warn the community and fellow developers about this project. This project is full of misinformation, claiming "jQuery rewrite", "jQuery language compatibility" and so on. Besides all the buzz words, the disingenuous act of calling it "jQ.Mobi" is some kind of marketing scheme with a misleading name.

Claiming a 'rewrite' is quite a stretch considering jQ.mobi contains 15% of the methods that jQuery has. See http://jsfiddle.net/danheberden/Gs7H8/

Hope you all can take a few seconds and take a look at this issue on GitHub: https://github.com/appMobi/jQ.Mobi/issues/8

Upvote with caution. Thanks.

And i'm sure no one uses methods like on, off, live, delegate, data, splice, slice, eq, add, addSelf, prevAll, nextAll, next, prev, siblings, children, wrap, clone, detach, appendTo, serialize, animate, width, height, ready, type, $.when, $.data, $.Deferred and more.

No, the project is completely honest; it just has erroneous punctuation in the headline, which should properly read:

"JQuery Rewritten, Ground Up"

Not Jqmobi's fault, but some transitions (Slide up, Slide down, Flip) don't render well on Android.
