Well, the generic answer to that would be "any kind of game that you
can build in html, javascript, and css".   And then consider that you
can use location data, accelerometer data, etc.    You can use SQLite
databases, and do the equivalent of vector graphics with the drawing
tools in HTML 5.

What you're not going to be able to do with PhoneGap is going to be
hardcore 3D graphics, etc.

Input is handled as mouse events.   And the javascript can handle
multitouch and gesture stuff.   Search the group for "multitouch", and
you'll find more info.
