I have found out that the popup editor example for the grids leaks resources. See the following sample:
http://demos.kendoui.com/web/grid/editing-popup.html
It creates a new "k-window" object every time the "Edit" button is clicked. Thus clicking the Edit button and editing multiple items populates the DOM with many "k-window" nodes which are added and are not cleaned up. You can observe this easily by using the object inspector of Chrome or a similar tool. This could cause problems on a mobile browser with memory constraints. Surely Kendo should reuse the same kendo window each time or destroy the old before creating a new one? Can anyone suggest a workaround for this bug?

Just to let you know that I have migrated all my code from Kendo to ExtJS because of this issue and numerous limitations with the Kendo UI code. This is a shame as Kendo looks fantastic and has a lovely architecture, but at the moment there are too many limitations and bugs. I hope it improves in the future.
