[I-mobile-u] mobile-friendly autocomplete?

[Dave Olsen]

i haven't used it for a mobile project but you can check out wick.

http://wick.sourceforge.net/

while the source is only 16k in order to make it really smooth you'll
have to have all the data embedded in the page as well (instead of
waiting on calls back to the server). that could add up.
