Ok... What does that all mean? Well, we took the complex part out and made the jQuery Mobile practical to use for all Joomla! 2.5 website owners. You don't have to deal with backend coding to take advantage of the great features of jQuery Mobile. Simply use the configuration parameters in the plugin and the included Joomla! mobile template. We really do hope you enjoy this extension and please feel free to drop us a post at our website forum: http://www.jtouchmobile.com/forum.

2. JTouch plugin and mobile templates are based on the rock solid jQuery Mobile framework. This framework is lightweight and fast.
3. JTouch advanced features and mobile templates for Kunena, VirtueMart and jComment are available to members.
4. JTouch plugin and mobile templates are free and open source products under the GPL2 license.
I tried a couple of other mobile templates for our site before discovering JTouch, but I was pleasantly surprised how much easier this one was to use.
The documentation is thorough and the the support forum is very helpful. I had a few questions specific to my site that I posted on the forum, and the team helped me resolve each of them quickly and easily.
I loved that it had a built-in AdSense aspect to it, so I could just plug in my info and it was ready to go. Being able to create a custom-colored template with Themeroller and upload it to the JTouch template was definitely the biggest perk for us. Again, super easy to do, and we have a gorgeous, custom mobile site.
And...it's FREE!! Thanks!

I Really Love this extension! Easy and Quicklly. Ah and free!! Many, many thanks!!!
Its really easy to install and pretty easy to set-up but...as it said in documentation, "recommended to disable cachingЭю In my situation disabling caching is not option, and in pair with JotCache this extension works poorly. Mobile detection simply not working, and dirty hack like binding template to menu items gives even more erratic behavior.
I see this extension pretty great, but it its not like it can be used in any situation

I don't want to pour any dirt on these guys, as it's really a great idea and I really like it. But it was a big downer when we donated to be able to download the files for VM, and it turned out to be far from what the video shows. They provided great support and refunded the money, and I don't complain at all. Just want to warn everyone that the demo video is not up to date and you should use the demo link to see what the latest code is like, not to be upset once you get it.
Again, nothing wrong with it, as long as you are OK with the preview link. But video is what really makes you want to get it, but it is not the same with what you actually get after donation.

This extension/mobile template works great. Very well documented. And the communication with the author is excellent. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a practical way to mobilize a site.
Had tried the other main mobile extension but to get any decent functionality they squeeze money out of you left right and centre. Found this extension, followed the very well and clearly written instructions and within 30 minutes got a somehow very cool looking mobile site. The extension is obviously done by real professionals, is easy to set up and just looks awesome. Very impressed!
This extension is exactly what so many people wanting mobile sites were waiting for. Installation takes just few minutes, the interface is very simple and Docs are very god. There is even an option to disable a developer logo in a free version. I'm testing it only for 1 day, but I think I will be strong supporter of this extension and developers. They did superb job and I just want to say one BIG hank You !
This extension is a must for everybody thinking about mobile site version.

This has to be one of the easiest to install and best looking mobile extensions ever! I've tried several including Mobile Joomla and this trumps it in looks and ease of use IMO. Extremely good, you won't be disappointed and it supports everything including the kitchen sink...
Wonderful extensions that does as it says with great ease!!! Thanks a million
I'm just a few weeks into figuring out mobile sites and found this extension for my Joomla 2.5.6 site. I liked the use of widely accepted JQuery and JQuery Mobile. I downloaded and set up Jtouch on my dev site, then got it running on the production site. I ran into a problem, which is promptly resolved after a posting to the support forum. Jtouch is still a work in progress; I'm hoping for out-of-the-box support of more major extensions, especially Mosets Tree and JEvents. I strongly recommend Jtouch.
I have never been impressed enough with an extension before to bother reviewing, but this one deserved the effort. I've been using Joomla for client web-sites for several years, but I'm completely new to 'mobile' site creation. Having used another popular mobile "system" (several modules and plugins combined...) previously, I was never happy with the results - and the latest version was full of quirks and problems. I wondered how J-Touch, a template and 1 plugin, could possibly serve my needs for a news magazine site that receives almost a half-million page views a month. WOW - installed, tweaked the HTML code and added a custom graphic for a header, and had a beautiful mobile site in less than 30 minutes. I did have problems with the menu, but I suspect that is an issue with the script-heavy main site template I am using (I had the same problems with the 'other' mobile extension as well), and since I didn't want the menu anyway, I didn't seek any support - and found it very easy to remove that part of the J-Touch template. The combination mobile-app / mobile site I created has made for a VERY happy client AND a VERY happy developer! For quickly converting your site to a mobile-friendly version, I would highly recommend J-Touch as a fast and simple solution.
No kidding...
I have been developing Joomla websites full-time now for ~3 years. I have tried other mobile solutions, but this is just so far superior... not to mention it's free!
Even with it being free, the support is so good it's almost sickening (in a good way). Nguyen (developer) is a leader among Joomla extension developers. Two thumbs up.

JTouch is a combination of template and plugin. The plugin automatically detects mobile devices and switches to the mobile template, allowing you to use another theme for your site with standard browsers. The plugin works correctly, and is easy to set up. Documentation is very good for both the plugin and template. The mobile template has adequate module positions and uses themes built with jQuery Mobile ThemeRoller, making it easy to customize the look of your mobile template. Support on the forum is great also.
