Does anyone know of a really good tutorial or sample project where Phonegap and jQuery Mobile is used for a real world example?

All the examples I found were showing fancy transitions or theming in jQuery Mobile. The Phonegap examples mostly showcases the Phonegap API.

I could not find a single example where Phonegap and jQuery Mobile was used to solve real world problems, such as writing a app that combines Phonegap and jQuery Mobile to do user input validation, saving the data, uploading data to a web service, etc.

These may not solve exactly your "real-world problems", but perhaps something useful ...

Our web site includes PhoneGap and jQuery Mobile tutorials for a media player, barcode scanner, google maps, and OAuth.

Also, my github page has code, but no tutorial, for two apps:

  • AppLaudApp - a run-control, debugging enabling, download complementary app to a cloud IDE
  • NameTrendz - an app developed in at Android Dev Camp to do a bunch of queries about popular name data. The PhoneGap and jQuery Mobile versions are from March 2011.

(Anyone else noticing a trend forming here??? hehehee )

And this will definitely be of use to all developers:

Edit I just finished a nice four part tutorial building an app to write, save, edit, & delete notes using jQuery mobile (only), it was very practical & useful, but it was also only for jQM. So, I looked to see what else they had on DZone.

I'm now going to start sorting through these search results. At a glance, it looks really promising. I remembered this post; so I thought I'd steer people to it. ㋡
