Using JQuery Mobile and JQuery Plugins

Using JQuery Mobile and JQuery Plugins

For mobile hybrid apps, it is common to use Apache Cordova/PhoneGap with jQuery Mobile. And jQuery Mobile depends on jQuery commonly used on web sites for desktop browsers.

For some UI elements, like carousel/slideshow/gallery, we may need some additional third party plugins/components.

  1. Are there jQuery plugins specially optimized for mobile platforms?
  2. Do we have to look for those plugins specially designed for jQuery Mobile and for mobile platforms?
  3. Is it safe/recommended to use any jQuery plugins that might be originally designed for desktop browsers in mobile hybrid apps?
