Whoa, this took me some time.

Finally found
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6305094/tell-the-iphone-this-particular-number-is-no-phone-number

but <meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no"> didn't do the
trick, only webview.dataDetectorTypes=0; in the app delegate module.

Does anyone know, why the meta tag doesn't work in the phonegap uiwebview?
