It was time I wrote an iPad app. And an Android app. And by the way it should run well on an iPhone too. And a Playbook.
So it turns out I just wanted an app that had a great mobile experience and looked at home on those mobile platforms.
jQuery Mobile to the rescue. jQuery is a rockstar JavaScript library that makes cross browser JavaScript and AJAX a snap. Many of our developer.axeda.com UI examples utilize jQuery. jQuery mobile is a plugin that makes the styling, cross-platform mobile features a breeze to support. Apps look perfect on Safari Mobile (iOS), Android, and while I haven't tested it yet, I'm sure they look great on the Playbook.
I've been working on an Axeda Mobile app. Soon I'll be sharing code for the full project, but in the meantime you can test drive this snippet via JS Fiddle - another amazing discovery!
