I wish we could stay with jQM but honestly, even 1.1.0 is still just too 
buggy - things like buttons overflowing the grid blocks, images not 
sizing correctly, etc - the lack of "fit and finish" just destroys the 
user experience - it would be nice if we had the time and resources to 
correct and submit fixes but looks like a big learning curve and 
undertaking and frankly can't even register on the forum (and noticing 
most posts arent' getting answered.  we are routing on the server (yeah 
not quite as fast as on client and much of it is data transfer but we'll 
work on that later).

I'll look at jQTouch tonight and evaluate -
