PhoneGap – An open Source HTML/JS framework for SmartPhone, Blackberry, and iPhone applications

Ever wanted to create a program for you iphone but didn’t want to write it in C+?

With this new framework you can develop programs for smart phones and their kin using native hardware features (screen shake or tilting for instance) with nothing but HTML and JS. This is currently a free and open source project under the MIT licensed and should hopefully stay that way.

5 Years ago you could sound really cool by talking about flash. 2 years ago you got to sound cool developing flash programs that worked on the odd Nokia phone. (deploying these programs in any sort of a meaningful way was a whole norther task all together, but being able to do it at all was step 1.)

I think the next milestone is looming overhead: learn JQuery or MooTools well enough that you make flash developer’s jealous and deploy your program in a way that actually works. SWEET!
