Could be a pretty good tech. approach. Nevertheless, that means developing a new app. from scractch... and maintain it. Emmanuel

Hi,
is this maybe also useful for ZIM - to make ZIM readers which are working cross-platform?
As far as I understood phonegap is mainly a framework to create mobile apps based on HTML 5. At least the display of ZIM contents should be simple then as we just need a HTML widget for that. But what about libraries needed to read file contents, such as zimlib? I couldn't find out if Phonegap itself supports native file access (so we could re-implement ZIM features with that) or if it allows the use of native libraries.

Thanks for the super detailed write up Brion. I've been actively talking with the PhoneGap guys after doing some more research on this and it seems like a really good fit to have a consistent experience across a whole host of devices.
What were looking at is not necessarily a lot of depth in every single platform but a lot of horizontal range. Phonegap platform support beats out Titanium pretty easily there.
We'll be working a lot closer with the PhoneGap team going forward to quickly have something in the android store to start.
If anyone is interested in helping then we'll have plenty of opportunities to join in. Over the next weeks we'll be adding bugs and sending out more calls to get involved.
