Knowing Nop 2.1, I don't think it would be difficult to integrate with jQuery mobile. But before starting my own project, I would like to ask you any advice or tip for doing this. Has anybody already done this?
Thanks

I've researched about this for a while. For full implementation of Nop for mobile device, I guess I have to wait for MVC 4 .
Until then, I am thinking of implementing separate nop for mobile with different view and theme. Anybody interested?

Is there any reason you couldn't write a new theme that is mobile capable? If that is possible you could identify mobile browsers and change the theme to use the mobile version. It wouldn't be as simple as it sounds because you don't want to change a users theme to mobile always so there would be a bit of infrastructure needed, but it definitely isn't a 3+ month project. Maybe 3-4 weeks if your proficient in C#.

There are certain things theme can do in this part, but not all of them. Some information should be hidden or adjusted for mobile so server side (some view or possibly controller) should be adjusted. Where did you get the idea that it would take 3+ months?

Interesting! I just glanced your documentation. It is based on Nop 1.9 and requires some server side change as expected. I am kind of looking for a way with Nop 2.0 or later. But nevertheless it looks good. Thanks for the pointer.

No sorry I must not have been clear. I said it is definitely not a 3+ month project. Because I don't know how proficient people are with developing in nopCommerce technologies I usually give conservative estimates. 3-4 weeks is what I expect the project to take. Considering it is rare developers get to work non-stop on a single project, snags always come up, and integration testing is a long process.

Working on this a couple of days, I managed to make a mobile-friendly nop 2.1 by simply changing theme and views. I expected this would not take that much time but it was still surprisingly easy. Please visit http://www.ephphatharesearch.com]http://www.ephphatharesearch.com and tell me what you think. Note that this is not a online store but a developer's web site.

It does require to copy files, but change is only to urlrewriting.config file (and optional change to master file if you need mobile detect and redirection).
It is not built with jquery mobile because this framework is still slow on most phones in the market.
Also there is a workitem for nopcommerce mobile here:
