The problems people are having with PhoneGap really aren't exclusive
to PhoneGap. Google about, read some blogs. This kind of thing happens
for dozens of reasons that are totally unrealted to Phonegap. There is
the company that had their *update* bounced because of an icon that
happened to look like an iPhone, in fact there was a company who had
an update bounce because of an iPhone-looking-icon had been added in a
*previous update* (update A gets through and update B gets rejected
because of a feature added in A).

Apple is very inconsistent with the rules they use to judge accepting
apps into the store.  PhoneGap really has absolutely nothing to do
with that, and certainly finding an alternative that works similar
enough to PhoneGap to make it useful in the same way will be exposed
to the same risk of rejection. Now we can have a thread that lasts a
month every time it comes up and panic and bite at each other like
scared children, or we can continue to attempt to get a dialog started
with Apple meanwhile working on our respective projects and trying to
earn money and continue our businesses.

PhoneGap has shown itself to be a very capable framework for app
development to me in the few apps my team has done. I can't tell you
how to run your businesses, but at this point continuing this thread
with the kinds of commentary that it has dissolved into is pointless.
Lets move on.
