My jQuery Mobile app consists of a single index.html
page and contains only one page with a link on startup:
In this example on JSFiddle, I take an API call from Flickr and run the results through the jquery tmpl engine to append the new page to the to the document and then call $.mobile.changePage() to the newly inserted page. I think you'll see how useful the pairing of jquery tmpl + apis + jquery mobile is.
