Resources & Frameworks for mobile development (iphone,android) using HTML5

I am looking for resources to develop HTML5 apps for iphone primarily. Are their frameworks and tools that I can use to get started? I am looking for:

  • Javascript frameworks that help with UI layout
  • Touch based controls for phones
  • Articles on iphone development, best practices, etc.

I searched stackoverflow and was not able to come up with a good list of resources. I am looking for examples like these http://jqtouch.com/

Solution

  • Sencha Touch is a pretty new mobile web app framework that apparently supports Android, iPhone, iPad, etc. Sencha is the framework formerly known as ExtJS.

    Here's a demo of the framework: http://www.sencha.com/deploy/touch/examples/kitchensink/

    Note: After looking at some screenshots, I'm not sure that the framework results in apps that follow Android UI patterns very well.

    Update: Also check out the just-announced jQuery Mobile project.
