@ hunter: Thanks, your Quoted introduction properly guides. Regarding "pain of creating Apps for different Smart phones", I want to say that with Phonegap, an App can be deployed to all major Smart phones with some code tweaking, as I read here. The referred Javasript Games are also good.

@ altcognito: Thanks.

@ Nick Campion: I am talking about those Type of high profile rich UI games, which are created with java for Android. Whether such type of games can be created with jQuery Mobile?

@ BandsOnABudget: thanks

@ Knossos: thanks and please tell, are you talking about browser based web games?

1) jQuery mobile is a javascript framework, using jQuery, geared toward mobile devices

A unified user interface system across all popular mobile device platforms, built on the rock-solid jQuery and jQuery UI foundation. Its lightweight code is built with progressive enhancement, and has a flexible, easily themeable design.

2) Knowledge of JavaScript would be nice

3) It would seem so

jQuery mobile framework takes the "write less, do more" mantra to the next level: Instead of writing unique apps for each mobile device or OS, the jQuery mobile framework will allow you to design a single highly branded and customized web application that will work on all popular smartphone and tablet platforms.

4) No, but you could certainly build web-based games with JavaScript. To develop applications for Android-based devices you should download their SDK and go through their Developer's Guide.

And this is why developing for mobile devices is such a pain. You can either build an application for a specific device on a specific platform (iPhone, Android, etc) or you can build a web-based application that can't have the deep-device integration that can greatly enhance the UI.

Here's a list of JavaScript-based Games, just to give you some idea what JavaScript alone is capable of. (a lot of the links are broken)

Some good ones:

• Digg Attack
• Sudoku

But, as you can see, you're not going to blow anyone away, but Digg Attack is very impressive for what it's working with.

have your browsed this site? http://jquerymobile.com/

the "short" answer is that it's the javascript that allows you to build HTML/JS driven web applications that have a "look and feel" of a native app. They run within a web browser so they are platform independent.

My understanding, is that jQuery mobile is superset of jQuery (which is a Javascript library for web development).

This mobile version seems to be optimized for creating buttons for mobile device.s

It is just to create websites. You can create games with it, but a better understanding of Javascript would be required for that.
