PhoneGap is an HTML5 app platform that allows you to
author native applications with web technologies and get access to APIs
and app stores. PhoneGap leverages web technologies developers already
know best... HTML and JavaScript.
With PhoneGap you can:
- Take advantage of HTML5 and CSS3
- Use JavaScript to write your code
- Access Native Features
- Deploy your app to Multiple Platforms
Also, Nitobi - the owner of PhoneGap, was
aquired by Adobe. That means:
"This acquisition will allow Nitobi to focus solely on PhoneGap and work
with Adobe to offer developers more efficient, expressive design and
development across devices with HTML5, CSS and JavaScript. By joining
forces with Adobe, we’ll be able to offer even more innovative
applications across platforms and devices, with greater reach."
