PhoneGap - Design MyUI as the First App

Using PhoneGap to develop Mobile Web-based Native App is very easy to add web UI modules (.js and .css) into the www folder. For example, I use jQuery Mobile.

• http://jquerymobile.com/: download the latest stable (Version 1.4.2 here) and get an zip file named "jquery.mobile-1.4.2.zip".

PhoneGap - Introduction to Mobile Web Apps

Cross-platform mobile applications are hard to develop due to different OS platforms with diverse programming languages on various IDE (Integrated Development Environment), such as Android / Java / Eclipse, iOS / Objective-C / Xcode, Windows Phone / C# / VS.NET. It is a hard technical challenge to launching mobile applications on major mobile platforms, developers must be familiar with these programming languages and IDEs to develop mobile Apps for Android, iOS and Windows.

PhoneGap - building native mobile applications using HTML, CSS and JavaScript

PhoneGap is an HTML5 application framework to develop native applications for mobile devices through integrations of web technologies, HTML5, CSS (CSS3), and JavaScript. 

The software underlying PhoneGap is Apache Cordova. The software was previously called just "PhoneGap", then "Apache Callback". Apache Cordova is open source software. ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PhoneGap

Apache Cordova is a set of device APIs that allow a mobile app developer to access native device function such as the camera or accelerometer from JavaScript. Combined with a UI framework such as jQuery Mobile or Dojo Mobile or Sencha Touch, this allows a smartphone app to be developed with just HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
