jQuery Conference News - Microsoft Visual Studio and Nokia phones

I'm enjoying the new wave energy here at jQuery Camp. John Resig dropped two bombshells during his keynote talk. Here is the gist - I might have the details wrong:

  • Microsoft will include Jquery as part of its official toolkit. Jquery will start shipping with Visual Studio.
  • Nokia has already adopted the open source Webkit project as its web browser. Today, John announced that every new Nokia phone will soon start shipping with Jquery. It is their preferred javascript framework and may be powering parts of the phone outside of the browser.

This is great news for Drupal as well as for the jQuery. Drupal has picked a strong horse to ride, and now the ride will get even faster. Here is a look at the Google Trends data for javascript frameworks. jQuery has just about won the battle.
