Support SEO for SPA
Currently, there is no way to make a Mobile Application (SPA) search engine friendly. You cannot use the "alternate" and "canonical" tags, since the SPA page is only loaded once. And you can't use Google's suggested #! syntax, since Kendo only supports the # syntax. So there is basically no way to get a Kendo Mobile website indexed properly.

This is not something that can be sorted without server code. I have made numerous tests visible  at http://seotests.memba.com, which you can google at https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=site%3Aseotests.memba.com.

1) Google reads the head (title, meta tags, canonical) before executing any Javascript, so they can only be set server side.
2) As far as executing Javascript code that changes the content. Google's behaviour is inconsistent. Initially these tests were hosted at a different CNAME and some content got indexed. After moving all the tests to http://seotests.memba.com, non of the content is now indexed.

Bing is not any better.
