Tried this on my android and it was extremely laggy. The work looks good, but the performance was subpar.

I'll definitely keep checking up on this project, though. Looks very promising.



I tried in on my second gen iPod Touch, and although it doeen't lag, I got a lot of flicker, as well as UI elements getting stuck in the "on" position.

I like the idea, though, and would love to have a framework that just works on devices that I can't test on.


Which firmware version is it on, just so I know — 2.2 or 3.0? Thanks-


2.2


Worked well on iPod Touch 2G 3.0

The external links got stuck in the on position, and the Todo demo flickered the row when checking/unchecking items.


I definitely need to test more on Android and Pre - hence the beta. With Android, I'm aiming primarily at "cupcake" release, as it's a newer version of WebKit. Hopefully, as they all get updated with newer and newer versions of WebKit, we'll see more ubiquity in general.


I'm running Cupcake here, and it's pretty painfully slow on my ADP1. Scrolling is a bit unreliable, as is trackball navigation. It looks great, though. Best of luck getting it working there.


Many thanks. Definitely need to get some test devices — Would love to focus on making it functional/accessible on these devices, but then forwards compatible. Love the fact that more and more modern devices are including auto-update features.


Unfortunately, I think you'll find a lot of the newer WebKit features missing from the Pre. For example, the canvas implementation is stripped down and lacks, among other things, gradients.


Yes, I've seen- it's definitely lacking. Hopefully they'll update with more features, but ultimately, my main goal is to provide the page animations, history management, AJAX, etc. — Someone could create a Pre theme which doesn't use CSS gradients, etc-
