So we're not planning on doing a webOS theme (or a iOS theme or a Blackberry theme) as we wish to create something of a unified experience across the platforms - although if you wish to contribute one, we'll absolutely accept it.

Unfortunately it's impossible to hide the back button from a web page on webOS. There are a number of limitations of the platform that are impossible to work around.

i was talking about the back button at the top-left ___location .. that is an iPhone only feature (webos uses the back-gesture while android has the hardware-back-button). i'm looking forward to test jquery mobile together with phonegap on webOS.

Ah, gotchya - yeah, that's totally a reasonable thing to assume. We'll work on that! And thanks for the testing.

I added an issue for globally controlling the auto back button behavior: http://github.com/jquery/jquery-mobile/issues/issue/210
