Hi all, Just to confirm, summarize, and expand on some of the points listed above:
* jQTouch and Sencha Touch will remain different products, both maintained. I plan on posting to my blog (http://9-bits.com) a comparison between the two shortly. * Yes, I have been remiss in maintaining jQTouch, and I'm psyched that we're able to sponsor Jonathan Stark to take over the direction. He's got a lot of great ideas for Android support and more. * We have not yet announced any commercial licensing for Sencha Touch. Currently, in its beta, we are offering open source under the GPL. If we do offer a commercial license, we're making it extremely high priority to make it as accessible to single developers as possible. * Creating a true app framework for the iPhone within the cache limits is simply impossible. Sencha Touch is only 60kb gzipped, and it's also very easy to optimize: For example, if you're creating an app that doesn't use Carousels, you can remove the carousel Javascript and CSS with just two lines of code and make a new build. I hope to post a blog/screencast showing this soon. Hopefully that helps clear up some of the confusion and please let me know if there are any other questions- Best, Dave On Jun 20, 9:52 pm, RobG <[email protected]> wrote: > On Jun 18, 2:24 am, Jamund Ferguson <[email protected]> wrote: > [...] > > > Is Sencha Touch, JQTouch without the JQuery? > > No, it's a seprate product. > > > I've had problems with the slowness of JQTouch on my 1st gen iPhone > > and am looking forward to see what Sencha produces with this merger of > > sorts. > > Sencha Touch is 228KB minified and is therefore pretty useless on an > iPhone unless you are looking at an application where bandwidth and > speed aren't an issue (i.e. not mobile devices or the WWW).
