Using PySide / PyQt for mobile development

I am currently looking at using PySide for mobile app development. I've done a few tutorials for creating desktop applications using Pyside and loving it. I understand PySide/PyQt is a port or mapping for Qt, and is usualy behind a little bit with Qt as developers of PySide/PyQt have to keep up with whatever happens in Qt.

I particularly want to develop for Android, BlackBerry and iOS. I also understand that Qt recently added support for Windows 8, as well as the more recent BlackBerry 10 OS.

My question: How well versed is PySide/PyQt in its current state with cross mobile application development.

Does it achieve mobile development by means of the WebKit component, allowing the use of everyday HTML, CSS and JavaScript?

Would it be a better option to consider PyQt for mobile app development, or PySide?
