Supported platforms in Beta 1
To provide a quick summary of our browser support in Beta 1, we’ve created a simple A (full), B (full minus Ajax), C (basic) grade system with notes of the actual devices and versions we’ve been testing on in our lab. The visual fidelity of the experience is highly dependent on CSS rendering capabilities of the device and platform so not all A grade experience will be pixel-perfect.
A-grade - Full enhanced experience with Ajax-based animated page transitions.

Not Currently Supported in Beta 1
- Nokia S60 - Targeted for Beta 2 release. A/B grade support will depend on results of device testing.
- Meego - Originally a target platform, but Nokia decision to relegate this platform to "experimental", we are considering dropping support.
- Samsung Bada - The project doesn't currently have test devices or emulators, but current support is known to be fairly good. Support level undecided for 1.0.
- Palm WebOS 3.0 - We're hoping to get test devices from Palm soon to start testing but have heard that rendering is quite good in 3.0
Since jQuery Mobile is built on the jQuery core, all pages should also work great on most recent versions of desktop browsers too - Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer, Opera, etc.
