I have just started working on a mobile component and experimented a bit with jquery mobile this week. The good: syncing an experience cross mobile browser is difficult, and jquery mobile gives you a nice framework to do it. The bad: The framework is somewhat prescriptive/heavy weight. It's not super easy to style, and it's not super easy to go outside it's boundaries. The ugly: while I doubt many people will have this issue, I simply could not get it to work at all (obscure jquery bug). My overall read of it was the same as you: very nice but not ready for prime time.
