What I would find useful as an application developer is a reliable way to tell that I'm being loaded in a Cordova view as opposed to a web browser, so I know if I should load up the relevant phonegap.js/cordova.js etc. (Having an app that works as-is in a browser is *hugely* helpful for debugging when possible!) What our Wikipedia app does now is to check the user-agent, and assumes that Android or iPhone user-agents are running in PhoneGap, while other things initialize without PhoneGap. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com / brion @ wikimedia.org)
