PhoneGap: Mobile Applications with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
summary
PhoneGap embeds a chromeless WebKit instance and exposes real native APIs to JavaScript so geolocation, accelerometer, contacts, audio (iPhone 30s limit), notifications, file I/O and SQL lite all call back into native code with identical APIs on iPhone Android and BlackBerry. It ships MIT licensed, has a PhoneGap repo with many forks and at least 50 apps in the App Store, pairs with tiny frameworks like XUI (≈2K vs jQuery ~24K) and includes an emulator plus working accelerometer/vibrate demos.
