Think Vitamin will be bringing you two further episodes of Doctype so be sure to check back next Tuesday for the next installment.

  This looks really interesting. I’d be interested to know people’s experience of working with it and the results they get? Needs to be quick and responsive and ‘feel’ like an app rather than simply mimicking the funbctionality.

  I’ll certainly be having a play and will report back how I get on!

  If you need a demo, I would try the jQTouch demo app, which is what we used in the video: http://jqtouch.com/preview/demos/main/#home

  We also use jQTouch for the mobile version of http://doctype.tv

  For the best experience, view both links on an iPhone or iPod Touch.

  Yeah, we’ve used jQTouch on several projects now, and it’s just great. It keeps getting better too, with each new release.

  Thanks for watching!

  I loved this episode of Doctype, it inspired me to write a blog comparing iUI and jQTouch. Can’t wait to use jQTouch in future projects!

  It definitely is. Have you made any sites with it?
