Many people using PhoneGap are converting their websites to mobile applications. Lots of reused code.\n
Open Source, Based on open standards, Active and growing community\n
Competitors: Appcelerator, RhoMobile, Corona: They don’t do it the same way. We don’t do any cross compiling to native code. Just run a web browser instance in a native app and run your web files locally\n
Mac, Windows, anything with a good web browser\n
We model the PhoneGap Api based on the standards defined by w3c, DAP, Mozzila Web API.\nYou guys being web devs have to love that. Nobody wants to go back to the ie6 days\n
Here are some of the API’s included with PhoneGap.\n
As a web developer, what do you need to do.\n
Wait for the device to be ready. \n

PhoneGap was submitted to Apache when Nitobi got purchased by Adobe.\nCurrently in incubation phase. Name changed to Callback/Cordova due to legal reasons. This name change only matters to people who actually work on the PhoneGap source code. We will still be calling it PhoneGap in the Community. Source code can currently be found on github. \n
We are going to be making a big push into making better tools available to you guys this upcoming year\n
Any Javascript Framework. Recently jQuery Mobile gaining traction\n
Liquid Layouts\nPhones get more powerful, performance less of an issue. As secure as your web app. Anyone can view your source. Possibly do server side authentication for sensitive information. Or use a Plugin.\n
