I have an app that saves lots of data into localstorage ... i have one user who has a few hundred files now, and has seen some errors come up .. I traced it to a memory limit for localstorage ... is there a way around this?

If you're using the Web Storage SQLite database, you could always migrate to a SQLite plugin which stores the database in persistent storage.
Otherwise, no: localStorage is limited (and for good reason). You'll need to re-architect the app to avoid dependence on localStorage and use persistent storage instead.

Let me ask this way .. .what is the simplest way to get unlimited storage in a phonegap app where the app needs to work on chrome, safari on a PC as well with the same code base?

Any local storage option (including Web storage) has a pretty low maximum limit (between 5 and 50mb, depending on platform).
The only way to avoid the low limit is to use a native SQLite plugin (which writes files to the user's persistent storage and not to the browser's storage) OR use the File APIs in order to access the same persistent storage (if your model isn't suited for SQLite).

No easy way, I'm afraid.
All desktop and mobile browsers have localStorage limits. Some are more generous than others and will let it be extended to pretty large amounts (and some can be run with a flag that disables limits entirely), but you should never rely on this. (And running with specific flags is highly unlikely for your user base).
Furthermore, even if you do decide to use the HTML5 File API (Exploring the FileSystem APIs - HTML5 Rocks), most desktop browsers will impose a similar limit on you.
