Introduction
This is a tentative roadmap.

- Support for custom Themes (aka "skins")

- iScroll - Scrolling under NavBar and under a fixed Tab Bar, etc. (iScroll Extension Wiki Page)
- HTML 5 Cache Manager

Hey Joe,
You said 0.4 would be beta in October, live in November... I assume this has slipped or is 0.4 available somewhere?
Thanks!
Michael.
Joe didn't say beta in October, I did, but that was 'tentative' as this is a volunteer project. There is a development pre-release of 0.4 available and it is pretty solid (over 3,000 downloads and few complaints). A new development release is coming soon. I've updated the Roadmap to reflect the 'slippage'. -- Sean

As above, will android theme will be supported with 0.40?
I assume this project has been abandoned? I have been hoping for an update since December. Can anyone recommend a good alternative? (Free or fee.)
Not abandoned, dude. Check the lists, check the repo. Release coming soon...
I have checked the lists... the OPEN list has looked pretty much the same for seven months now. Looking forward to a new release. Glad to hear work is still being done.
Thanks for sharing a such project, its working like a charm, make me verrrry happy :-)
Good luck for futur dev..
EXCELLENT WORK!!!
I compare the IUI with JQTouch, Extjs, JQueryMobile, and other thousands of framework. Only IUI work on all platforms, with HIGH performance!!!
really great!
@rebornzh...@gmail.com IUI don't have the same features of QTouch, Extjs, JQueryMobile, and other thousands of framework :-) Also, the development seems to stand still for several months
We are hard at work on next 0.40dev3 release, in order to get it stable enough for official 0.40. Of course, iUI doesn't compete on feature numbers since there is no point to clone others... we focus on keeping lightest and simpliest as possible to get stuffs done without having to learn JQuery or another API
