Here’s one for mobile developers. With jQ.Mobi, a new open source mobile development framework, you can quickly create HTML5-based sites and apps using familiar jQuery-based functions.
Touted as 2.5X faster than desktop jQuery and much smaller to download (only 3K vs. 36K), JQ.Mobi is made with particular focus on delivering an “identically high quality user experience” to both iOS and Android devices.
Included with jQ.Mobi are a query selector engine, a user interface (UI) library, and a collection of plugins. When compared to other JavaScript mobile frameworks like jQuery Mobile and Sencha Touch, jQ.Mobi is both smaller and faster.
jQ.Mobi is offered free of charge as an open source asset under the MIT X11 license, though at the moment it’s in private beta. appMobi, which sponsors the framework, encourages interested developers to stay up to date with jQ.Mobi development by joining the email list at jqmobi.com…

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
