Add a Kendo UI Mobile Listview with real time cross domain data binding
and this could be a simple modification of your current listview demo, where instead of using the hard coded data, use the real time data which is hosted on a website (i.e. google or twitter) and bind that data (json) to the listview...

As suggested here - http://kendo.uservoice.com/forums/127393-kendo-ui-feedback/suggestions/2522564-server-rendering-for-templates I plan on rendering javascript on the server for a single unified binding codebase.  Except, I plan on implementing my own rendering engine and have no need for you to do that for me.

However, kendo needs to bind everything and enumerate the DOM such as my question here - http://www.kendoui.com/forums/ui/dropdownlist/dropdownlist-autobinding-dom.aspx.  For Kendo to be used on the server side it has to (optionally) render things like dropdown lists, grids, etc completely and control visibility based on CSS rather than partially rendering the DOM (understandably for DOM performance).  ie. disable virtualization option for all controls.

Make sure that Kendo works with server-side rendering for SEO purposes otherwise it's useless for my intended use.

This feature is necessary for server-side rendering with - http://kendo.uservoice.com/forums/127393-kendo-ui-feedback/suggestions/2678704-single-page-application-spa- in combination with https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/.

Is there planned support for JSON-RCP for DataSource? At least something that does batches? Using REST is fine for example code, but otherwise can result in many connections, etc. While a bigger problem in mobile, it still makes a difference in desktop. ExtDirect and json-rcp both seem to fit the bill.

If my callback takes 10ms or 300ms I still get the control whiting itself out and showing a loading animation.  Problem though is if it takes 10ms it looks like the control is flickering. 

Let me set a min duration before the animation shows up.  So I could say only show the loading animation if it's taking longer than 100ms.

In the datasource can you give us a property which will tell the DS that it needs to stringify the parameters so I don't have to keep googling this syntax?
parameterMap: function (options) {
                return kendo.stringify(options); // kendo.stringify serializes to JSON string
            }

So just like read: { stringifyParams:true ...}

Visual Studio plugin to generate javascript proxy classes for communicating with web services. 

Normally in ASP.Net the .Net proxy classes would be generated for me, but since I am now moving towards building RIA applications most of the WS calls now take place client side. The process of manually setting up service calls is a bit cumbersome so if KendoUI could include a tool for this it would be great.

can you advise if the upcoming mvvm framework can be replaced by knockoutjs and / or work with it. we have invested heavily in ko and love it as an mvvm framework. we have also started to use kendo to replace telerik mvc (where appropriate) but would like to know if we can ensure that all 3 products will work together... telerik for server-side UI, ko and kendo for client.

Excellent work, I think (one/two way) form data binding with JSON/XML serialization will be very helpful. Templates are good but need to support attribute based data binding expressions without templates.
