As of today the basic installation instructions on the phonegap website fail.  Latest release was almost a year ago.  Is this project still being maintained?

How to add custom fonts in phonegap, when I preview html on phonegap custom fonts works, but not when I expoxt it as apk. I use in line css with baamini fonts

[shimona]

How would you compile with it without phonegap build?

[yousorooo]

It sounds good, but does it run smoothly and fast?

[Hfrmobile]

Sounds good. But this is an marketing video which has to be cool ;-) I am not fully convinced that I am able to write cools apps for Windows Phone too as I can with Silverlight for Phone ... Are there good Windows Phone examples and tutorials available? The output is a .XAP file, right?

What do you use if you don't know html5, css3, or javascript?

[Parish]

Gosh I'm so inspired and excited about this!!

[AlexMercersRevenge]

Does one need prior programming knowledge to use this software?

[MauriMahtava]

1. Apps run 10 times slower than native. 2. It is much faster to create UI with native tools. 3. Hard to keep the project clean with Javascript/HTML5/CSS-files comparing to java/xml or C#/xml. 3. Browsers are different (Winphone) and always will be. 4. Debugging is hard (visual studio). The real future is to make Python Compilers. so writing one python code and it would translate it into native.

What is the difference between this and cordova? Is this the same thing with a different name, totally confused

[StEvUgnIn]

Why use PhoneGap instead of Apache Cordova ?

[forwardintent]

So does this render native mobile languages obsolete if I can just build mobile apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript? Please, someone tell me, I need to know as I'm about to enroll in an iOS dev course.

[ChunkyChest]

ahh because of the vast array of platforms, makes sense. a x-plat compiler should also be released!!

[dudds]

It will get there that is why i'm pumped for the firefox os phones. They won't be a top contender but will help improve web standards. :-)

[RashidOmar]

It would be so much more awesome if the apps would be as snappy as native apps. Good overall open source platform though. All the best!

How about a version of Flash that doesn't crash every 5 seconds and doesn't need to be updated every day?

If PhonegGap can do so many things i think it's a perfect tool and gratz to its developers.I m learning C# for some months now and will learn also HTML to be good at ASP.NET and I was saying damn I need to learn java also for android?Probably not.
