PhoneGap can only do so much, it is mostly just wrapping your HTML/JS/CSS. Finally those languages are starting to get close to what a native app can do (with significantly less development time, perfect for prototyping).

Native is not about the languages, it is about the frameworks. HTML/JS/CSS are so far away from what native SDKs offer it is not even funny.
