One interesting new feature is the "Cordova Webview". This will make building hybrid apps much more straight forward.

"Cordova WebView - This allows for the integration of PhoneGap, as a view fragment, into a bigger native application."

Awesome news! They're developing Phonegap at a ferocious pace and I applaud the team for their progress. It was only a few months ago that they were at 1.7 and today's release of 2.0 is simply awesome.

Congrats Phonegap team!

I would like some help with these:

- Is there support for inapp payments? Built in or plugin based?

- how does this compare with trigger.io and titanium?

- does this version not need xcode to create apps like trigger.io?

Used Phonegap on 2 projects and I have to say, never again. If you want to have the job done right and you want a quality product, go native. We lost days(weeks even) of time chasing an obscure bug in the location tracking of Phonegap. Also, the end result wasn't very good to be honest. It lacked the fluidity and responsiveness you have with native apps.

sure, you can develop things 2 as fast but then you spend all the rest of the time just messing around to get that "native feel".

- Titanium at least still uses native UI. I believe that neither trigger.io nor PhoneGap do, though PG has a plugin to let you use some

- It requires XCode.

Congrats!

BTW I'm pretty sure Adobe took over PhoneGap to replace its AIR/Flash long-term debacle. Nice move.

On iOS I've done it before it was cool :) https://gist.github.com/3152851
