If you are creating a mobile application, you don't need to call kendo.bind..., you just need to create the kendo.mobile.Application, and then define which model your view will be bound to by adding data-model="viewModel".
var app = new kendo.mobile.Application(document.body, { platform: 'ios' });
<div id="view" data-role="view" data-model="viewModel">...</div>
