PhoneGap (http://phonegap.com/)
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 latest
technologies including HTML 5, JavaScript and CSS.
PhoneGap is a free open source mobile framework that allows
developers to build a single code base application and deploy it on 7 different
platforms including iOS, Android, Windows Phone, webOS, Symbian, bada, and
Blackberry.
Why PhoneGap?
Mobile development is a mess. Building applications for each
device--iPhone, Android, Windows Mobile and more--requires different frameworks
and languages. One day, the big players in mobile may decide to work together
and unify third-party app development processes. Until then, PhoneGap will use
standards-based web technologies to bridge web applications and mobile devices.
Plus, because PhoneGap apps are standards compliant, they're future-proofed to
work with browsers as they evolve.
PhoneGap is an open source implementation of open standards.
That means developers and companies can use PhoneGap for mobile applications
that are free, commercial, open source, or any combination of these.
