Javascript is not necessary to use Web Intents, it only makes the pop-up code easier. Web Intents are also accessible from HTML alone.
Web Intents are mobile browser ready -- and the Tweet Button has also been upgraded to also work in mobile contexts.

Why is the script tag included in the example when the 3 lines below it don't actually use javascript? Does the widgets.js code automatically transform the buttons? That would be a bad thing...
Besides that, I like it. I haven't checked yet, but is there a mobile version ready as well?

In the past it's been difficult to make these Tweets interactive, requiring you to write an OAuth app simply to attach Reply, Retweet, and Favorite actions to Tweets.
Today we're releasing a simple new addition to the API called Web Intents that makes it possible to make Tweets that you display on the web interactive. Web Intents provide popup optimized flows for all the ways you interact with Tweets and users on Twitter: Tweet, Reply, Retweet, Favorite, and Follow. The new tool makes it possible for users to interact with Twitter content in the context of your site, without leaving the page or having to authorize a new app just for the interaction. Web intents are mobile friendly and easy to implement.
For example, here's how you add Reply, Retweet, and Favorite links to a specific Tweet:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>
<p><a href="http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?in_reply_to=51113028241989632">Reply</a></p>
<p><a href="http://twitter.com/intent/retweet?tweet_id=51113028241989632">Retweet</a></p>
<p><a href="http://twitter.com/intent/favorite?tweet_id=51113028241989632">Favorite</a></p>
Detailed documentation is available at http://dev.twitter.com/pages/intents--
To see Web Intents in action check out Wordpress.com's great tool for quoting Tweets in blog posts: Twitter Blackbird Pie. Here's a post that uses their tool to quote @jack's Tweets about our 5 year anniversary. We've also added these standard Tweet actions to our timeline widgets that are used all over the web.
We've also updated the display guidelines with some suggestions on how to make your Tweets actionable, and made the standard Reply, Retweet and Favorite icons available for download.
