I know apple is very inconsistent, but the examples you gave have very
specific guidelines in the SDK. They are very clear about what you
can / cannot use. The problem with PhoneGap is that Apple is rejecting
them without any reasoning. If they didn't like how the javascript
interacted with the accelerometer, that could be fixed. If they didn't
like how it played sounds or the vibration method, or something, we
could address it. But we have no idea. Apple has not responded, and
it's not just me who is getting rejected.

Official or not, or consistent or not, Apple IS rejecting phonegap
apps because of PhoneGap, and until we actually get hold of them,
which Michael is trying to do, I honestly think you're playing russian
roulette trying to get an update through the submission process.
