Developing apps for mobile devices can be done using many different approaches and languages. Many apps are developed natively; meaning that they are developed in Java, Objective C, or some other language natively understood by the SDK available for the device. While native development allows the greatest flexibility and performance, the problem arises when you want to move an app from one platform to another: suddenly you're writing the app nearly from scratch. Then if you want to move to another platform, the same thing occurs. There's got to be a better way!
All current mobile platforms support the idea of web apps . These are applications coded entirely in HTML and JavaScript. For simple apps, or for apps that don't need to interact with the device's capabilities, this works just fine. But the moment you need to access the file system, work with the camera, and so on, you start needing more access to the device.
This is where PhoneGap comes in. PhoneGap (built on Cordova) wraps your HTML and JavaScript with just enough of a native app to let your web app feel more at home on the device. This wrapper is different for each platform, but exposes common capabilities in a consistent way. This helps you to write less code across multiple platforms.
