This document discusses cross-platform mobile app development and proposes using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with PhoneGap as a solution. PhoneGap allows apps written in web technologies to access device functionality like the camera, accelerometer, and geolocation across platforms like iOS, Android, Blackberry and more. Developers can use PhoneGap to get the platform tools, write their app in common web languages, and deploy it to multiple mobile operating systems.
