Hi Pollie Your project sounds great! I looked into PhoneGAP but decided it was too complicated to use, and my interest was developing for augmented reality and at that time (last year) PhoneGAP didnt support the smartphone camera. So I opted for Junaio instead, and am happy to advise you about that. cheers, dave
