PhoneGap is more like AIR than Gears. It is a subtle difference. With

In theory, one could write APIs in PhoneGap that mimic the Gears
ones, but
you would still have to get users to install each application,
rather than
just open their browser.
Sure, but the same way that Fluid is adding the Gears plugin cleanly
(without Input Managers hacks), having a Air-like environment to
deploy web apps to the iPhone that included Gear functionality to
manage offline mode (amongst other things) would be a very nice SDK.
Best regards,
