A massive script such as jQuery does not belong on a mobile device, minified or not. Surely mobile developers would know that minimal script is best.

I browse to tons of pages on my phone every day that presumably use JQuery and work fine. We're not in the WAP days anymore.

I guess my humble iPod Touch that sputters out on bloated sites like GitHub just isn't up to snuff.

Try loading a page without script bloat and you'll see a noticeable difference.
