Phonegap was easy to setup and get going with.

I made the mistake of testing the app out on an iPhone 4 as I was developing it. Once it was finished, I tried it on my friend's iPhone 3G, and it was extremely slow and unresponsive to clicks.

I added all the possible optimizations that I could find people recommending on the web, but using the app on a 3G phone was still a horrible experience. Be sure to test your app on a 3G phone as you are developing it to test performance.

In retrospect, I should have taken the time to learn Obj-C and build a native app.
