4. A Set of templates for building native iOS,
Android, Blackberry, Symbian, and WebOS using HTML,
CSS, and JavaScript.

5. Pros & Cons
Here are the pros of PhoneGap framework:
● Can use our current authoring tools (E.g: Photoshop for doing mockup)
● Can use our current web design and development skills.
● The development cycle is fast.
● Can access the all cool hardware features of phone. (Using JavaScript ObjectiveC Bridge)
● Good performance for model iPhone 3G, 3GS, 4, and iPad.
● Mixing both native iOS view and webview.
● Clean code, usability, flexible and maintainable.
Some cons:
● It can be difficult to achieve sophisticated UI effects.
● Must learning HTML5 and design for smartphone.
● Complex games, intensive graphics. Use OpenGL for that, not PhoneGap.
● For slower phones (not iPhone, not Nexus One, Droid, not Xperia X10),
PhoneGap apps using the latest interactive Google Maps APIs tend to be
slow. Static maps OK, though.
