Sometimes I feel like the only person who is NOT a PhoneGap fan. It just has so many oddities (white flash on Android for one) and the apps never seem to work as well as anything native. Am I missing something? Serious question, not trying to troll.

I haven't used it extensively, but it's one of few ways to make a truly functional app using just JS+HTML5- allowing you to skip past Java, Objective-C, etc. Of course, there are huge prices to pay for that- particularly on the UI front. But if your mobile app is a very small part of your business (as opposed to the primary offering, which it is for many) then it can make sense. I've actually ended up making an app t…

Has anyone here tried Titanium Appcelerator? You can build native cross-platform apps in javascript. I've been using it to build my app: http://getswaggur.com and it's been pretty good so far.

Yep. I was very, very impressed. Coming from the Google Maps API I never expected that a web map view could perform as well as a native one, but it does.
Indeed, I maintain my own Leaflet fork for a project I am (occasionally) working on and I am won over as well. Are you using the Mapquest open data? Your maps are beautiful by the way.

Great job on the app! How's the reception been so far from taxi cab companies?
I haven't got to the stage of approaching taxi companies yet- right now the app is really just a developed concept that I've entered into an app-making contest (http://2011.nycbigapps.com/submissions/5832-taxonomy) . It has VC investor judges, cash prizes, etc.- basically, I'm waiting to see what happens. If it gets a fantastic reception then yes, that's time to start approaching cab companies about direct booking etc.

That's a great looking app. Can I ask what framework you used?
If you don't need background processing, I wouldn't recommend it- I'm looking for ways to move away from it.

There's a still ongoing discussion about Titanium on my blog, here -> http://usingimho.wordpress.com/2011/06/14/why-you-should-sta... , it's up to you to decide if Titanium fits your needs or not. If you're building only small and simple applications it might be fine.
When I see a new product linked on HN, I want to quickly look at screenshots. I couldn't find any screenshots of the product on your website besides those thumbnails that look like any other IDE at that resolution. I did eventually find the movie but I would've preferred some screenshots.
