PhoneGap is an open source framework for building hybrid apps that work on iOS, Android, and Windows Phone.

Browser and Beyond

The power of PhoneGap is in its JavaScript API, which extends the functionality of the browser. By using PhoneGap plugins, you are able to add additional JavaScript functions that tap into the power of the native platform.

For example, PhoneGap added the geolocation, accelerometer, camera, and the file API to hybrid apps before browsers supported them. Today, we are able to add deeper access to the file system, push notifications, and pretty much anything that you can dream up!

Oh boy, where to begin?
