Not true. You have access to all of these using systems like this (PhoneGap and Titanium also provide these and many other native features).

Sure. I thought GP was asking about what you get writing purely webapp stuff.

Phonegap/Titanium are great, but they're hacks. Phonegap is just running your app in an uiWebView, then exposing some of the camera/etc. stuff via its own API, yeah?

That's great, but IMHO, it shouldn't have to be like that.

How is that any different then what Apple originally intended, and still makes available for web apps? PhoneGap is just exposing more native features than Apple does?
