Overall the quality of jQuery Mobile has been greatly improved. In general, the following improvements have been doing since Alpha 2:

The team made about 480 commits!
Fixed around 150 bugs
Created 240 unit tests (almost all are passing in most browsers)
Refactored and improved our core and navigation plugins in many ways, and improved consistency across plugin APIs
Increased our A-Grade browser support to include Firefox Mobile (Fennec), Opera Mobile / Mini, and refined our support for iOS, Android, BlackBerry 6, Palm WebOS, and most modern desktop browsers
Wrapped the jQuery UI datepicker plugin with a touch optimized theme (it’s not included in our build by default)
Fixed our “fixed” toolbars – Thanks Kin!
Improved keyboard and general accessibility support on VoiceOver
Gotten very close to a-grade support for Windows Phone 7 and ************************* (in branches currently)
Made headway on several feature branches, like history.pushState support (for hash-free URLs), and simulated scrolling
Made countless other improvements and optimizations
Right now we’re planning on releasing the first beta within the month before moving on to our 1.0 release. Our goals moving forward are to improve performance, user-experience and responsiveness, and extend our support to Windows Phone 7, BlackBerry 5, and ************************* devices, among other browsers.
