I am going to develop a mobile application. The application is going to use form elements, side panel, nav-bar, list view and some pop up gadgets. It will have dynamically created forms (which will come from the backend via jsonp).

I already have intermediate knowledge of jQuery.

I am now comparing the frameworks and am between these three

(1) Kendo UI Mobile (2) Sencha Touch (3) Intel App Framework (4) Ability and success to deploy as native applications (like phonegap, icenium etc)

because I will not have predefined forms, I suppose I will spend much effort on the javascript part by inserting form field data from the js using jsonp value from the server

When we compare these frameworks for the following criterias

  • Speed
  • Native Feeling
  • Development Difficulty
  • Documentation and Community Support

which tools would you recommend to use or not to use?

I would personally say that Kendo Mobile is great, I am currently using it to develop. Its fast and friendly to use. It also has native looks for all devices. It is pretty simple to use, and has loads of documentation and support. Also there are many videos. Telerik (The company that developed kendo) has always been my first choice when developing.

  • Speed Fast never had an issue
  • Native for all devices, even has unique look if wanted
  • Medium difficulty
  • Tons of documentation and videos
