    We had PhoneGap in the good old days too. Back then we called it Adobe Air.

        @aral constructive criticism of technology is good, esp. with user stories, but FUD is not needed thanks. "PhoneGap = Air"? Disappointing.

        @savs I know, I was rather disappointed too. Air: Wrap Flash in a native wrapper. PhoneGap: Wrap HTML in a native wrapper.

        @aral No, I mean I'm disappointed in you, comparing a proprietary legacy solution with an open approach that facilitates web standards.

        @savs Not sure how it facilitates web standards, tbh. If anything it’s a marketing ploy by Adobe to sell more Creative Cloud licenses.

        @aral Heh if you don't like marketing, try http://incubator.apache.org/cordova/  instead? Not perfect for everyone, but helps some to leverage html css & js.

        @savs Problem is, what perception of web technologies will people be left with if they’re used to build sub‐par native apps?

        @aral You are aware - I assume - that there are _featured_ apps on the iOS store built with AIR, right? Maybe we bribed Apple?

        @cfjedimaster Yep. And it’s actually not horrible for games esp with latest updates. Any productivity apps you can point out, however?

        @aral and "not horrible" - seriously - Apple highlights "not horrible" apps? Have their standards fallen so far?

        @cfjedimaster What I mean is, non-native technologies suffer less of a drawback when used in immersive applications like games.

        @aral The goal of phone gap is "not to exist anymore"… the web platform is the ultimate goal!

        .@aral a little bit harsh on PG team, I like to think of PG as the browser of the future, allowing you access to device functions now
