How to build a mobile app for Force.com using jQM and push notifications (trigger.io)

Ok, trigger.io using Parse for push notifications is pretty awesome, but jQuery Mobile is just terrible. Seriously. Save yourself a lot of headache and use something like Kendo Mobile instead. It costs money, but saves a lot of time and headache working around jQuery Mobile's MANY, MANY problems.

Also, has anyone had any luck using Parse.com push notifications on PhoneGap/Cordova?
