So what’s cool about PhoneGap (compared to other mobile application technologies)?

Use low entry level HTML, CSS and Javascript technologies – even PHp coder can build his/her own mobile application!
This is the most cost effective way to develop non-CPU-intensive applications.
PhoneGap has the widest mobile platform support – the best medicine against fragmented mobile application markets
You can always break out from the sandbox and use the native capabilities of the phone.
This is something you cannot do with Flash Lite or Java ME.
