I would like to start developing mobile-friendly versions of websites for my clients, however, I am baffled with options and google search wasn't very helpful - there is so many options and opinions, I've been reading for few days now and still have no idea how to start.
What's your opinion/experience about/with it?
My main points:
jQTouch seems superb (simple, quick, working), I'm not sure about it on blackberry/droid and I don't want to create 6 web versions for each mobile device - Makes even less sense if you consider, that I'm starting with small web (6-10 pages, 1 contact form, 3 register forms) to play with.
Thank you

Doing web development tasks on an Android phone is perfectly feasible. If you really wanted, you could create entire websites from the ground up, while ensuring they're perfectly mobile-friendly (because you're building on a mobile device!).
The process by which a website is optimized for mobile users is called mobile web design. Creating a positive user experience for mobile web users is imperative for the success of any business or organization these days.
my 2c; the best approach is the one we use on the web as we know it; cross-browser development.
use (basic) html & css to start with (ensuring you'll reach as many handsets as possible) & progressively enhance by adding more complex stuff (javascript & more specific css) for more advanced devices.
jqtouch (which has to be combined with jquery if i'm not mistaking) is swell, but very much iphone-centric (some of the nifty css-stuff doesn't work anywhere else). a (slightly) more cross-platform js-framework is the jquery-like xui.
once you have something up and running, testing it on mobi.ready might be a good idea.
