PhoneGap Development




PhoneGap is a Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) framework that helps you to develop apps for the following devices.

iPhone

iTouch

iPad

PhoneGap is the ONLY open source mobile framework that supports seven (7) platforms. It uses web development languages such as JavaScript and HTML. It also allows for access to hardware features including GPS/location data, accelerometer, camera, sound and more.



The company offers a cross-platform simulator (an Adobe AIR app), as well as online training sessions to help you access native APIs and build functioning mobile apps on the PhoneGap platform
