TV apps using jQuery Mobile

The idiot box finally graduates to an internet box! Internet on TV is catching on quite fast. I've been reading reports that predict a billion(s) dollar market that will open up for TV apps. Ah the hype .. these things are always in billions. But anyways, considering the number of people who have a TV and the number who watch it (almost everyone?), I guess this could be quite realistic. Many advantages I guess, lesser strain on the eyes, no burnt laps and no lost fertility with laptops on top of laps. I'm online 100% of the time. Definitely I stand to gain. My 6 year old kid too. I'd rather have him play Angry birds and all those HD games on TV compared to him holding my super heated mobile and straining his eyes watching the small screen. So now that I've made my point beyond all doubt, it is agreed that TV apps is the next big thing! So where do I start? I do not have an Internet TV yet! Not to despair, one could install the recently launched Opera TV Emulator

So 6 devices out there and usually 2 browsers on most of them (yes Kindle only as one webkit based experimental implementation). So my bookmarks are all over the place, scattered over at least 10 different places. And each time I'm working on one box, I wish I had access to the bookmark I made a few hours ago on the other
