I'm looking forward to the inevitable follow up post on the author's experience with Phone Gap... Has anyone used Phone Gap before and wants to share their thoughts?
We moved to Titanium from PhoneGap around 5 months ago - PhoneGap was just too slow for many options and did not support the low level audio functionality we needed. It may be better now though, but we haven't looked. Titanium has actually worked really well for us so I'm a bit surprised by so many developers having issues on here. Our app is coming out in about a month and is fairly large, with a custom UI:
There are an increasing class of mobile application that don't need native support at all - they just want to have platform-conforming UI. jQuery mobile, JQTouch, and Sencha Touch are examples of these platforms that require only HTML + JavaScript.
