So it seems I was simply doing it the old fashioned JQuery way when there is actually a JQuery Mobile way of doing these things now. Here is the correct code.

$('#page').live('pagecreate',function(event){
  console.log('page loaded');
  $(".tweetjack").live('tap',function(event) {
      console.log('test');
  });
});

I am having a strange problem with the android browser. Hopefully this is something I am doing fundamentally wrong and not a JQuery bug. I have tried the following code in Firefox and Chrome which work fine. However when I try it in the Android browser, clicking on the Get Tweets button does not work. It seems to be an issue with JQuery Mobile because when I add the event to a normal non JQuery Mobile object it binds correctly and the console.log fires. I have tried with both alpha and beta versions of JQuery Mobile with no luck.

</html>

This script also fails in android browser only.

$('#page').live('pagecreate',function(event){
      console.log('page loaded');
      $(".tweetjack").click(function() {
            console.log('test');
        });
    });
