I built an app using jquery mobile and phonegap... It is good to develop the interface and controllers without having to run on a simulator, but once on the phone, I thought it was really slow. A bit frustrating to be honest. I was blown away by the rubyMotion video. I will give it a go as soon as one of you guys in the list write a scaffold for it hehehe.
