Backbone-couchdb is only 252 sloc, and it's more than a year old. It seems stable to me. With such a small codebase, I figure I can fix anything that needs fixing, if the current maintainer ever decided to stop maintaining it. Since CouchDB speaks REST & JSON, which is exactly what Backbone speaks, they seem to be made for each other - not a lot required to get them to play nicely with each other.

I'm also developing for mobile, although I'm targeting tablets more than phones. If you use Android you should search the market for mobile futon. You'll have a working couchdb server with a jquery mobile interface up and running on your device in a matter of minutes. You can create new databases and play around with it to get a feel for it. That's not how I'd serve a production app, but it's a quick way to get a feel for how CouchDB works on a mobile device.

There are a couple of groups working on newer, lighter weight and more performant iOS and Android CouchDB servers at the moment - CouchBase has CouchBase Mobile for iOS and Android, and they're working on a follow-up called TouchDB. Not yet production-ready, but it sounds like it will be nice when it is.

Good luck!
