Answer 3

This is more a replacement for JQuery than a replacement for JQTouch, but have you looked at http://xuijs.com/? From the home page:

We hear your words. Why another JavaScript framework?! When development of PhoneGap was under way we noticed slow load times for modern JavaScript frameworks (such as Prototype, MooTools, YUI, Ext and (yes) even jQuery. A big reason why these libraries are so big is because is mostly they contain a great deal of cross browser compatibility code. The mobile space has less browser implementations (so far) and different needs. Thus XUI.

All this in 7.8kb. Not bad. If you have jQuery experience, you'll find xuiji familiar in some ways.

Answer 4

JQuery Mobile, is the top for android/cross-platform mobile app development: http://jquerymobile.com/ I ended up going with JQTouch and doing work-arounds for Android because it's templates look slicker to me.

Like Barnabas said above, xui is a great alternative. Also, Uranium (which includes xui in its download) is a neat set of pre-made widgets that requires no javascript knowlegde - just some attributes in your HTML.
