It is a development framework that lets HTML and JavaScript developers build native mobile phone apps that take advantage of native capabilities of the mobile devices. It acts as a bridge to all the rich core features of the mobile platform while preserving the development environment of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code.
This is PhoneGap!
This framework will help you to avoid the pitfalls of writing to different phone platforms. Normally a developer would need to know Java to create an application for the Blackberry, but with PhoneGap the developer could use JavaScript and HTML instead.
I have try it and it was really easy to implement in android, and the learning curve its really low, since the language use it is well known, Nevertheless you will need advance level of knowledge of javascript, if you really want to do powerfull applications. But even if you don't know i think it worth it because Javascript it has a long time to live still.
One of the Cons that i would point about this framework its that the developer has to download the particular devices SDK for each device they want to develop an app for, but its a necessary Con since you can cross the native with the phoneGap framework, given you more control over a particular device.
