No visual feedback when touch a regular link.

No visual feedback when touch a regular link.

The following css style removes the UI feedback when you touch a regular hyperlink in iPhone/iPad/Android 2.1 browsers:

ui-mobile-viewport {-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);}

I think this is intended not to interfere with jQuery mobile's own visual touch feedback (which I think needs improving), but it makes for very 'wooden' websites.

On some Android models you can use the trackball to 'tab' between all the clickable elements on a page, but this style removes that ability.

On iPad/iPod Touch and presumably iPhone, this style disables the visual feedback you get when you touch a link.  Normally, a link is highlighted with a grey background so that you know you actually made contact.

I know this is only an Alpha so kudos to everyone who got it this far this fast, but I do think the visual feedback on touch needs to be improved in general across jQuery Mobile.  Currently, you only get feed back after you've touched, which can be a second or so and hence doesn't give you a good indication on which are the clickable elements on a page.

Great work though!
