It's actually a lot more than a framework. It's a complete IDE with UI and Code editing and incorporates both Phonegap and jQuerymobile. Bit like a cloud based Visual Basic for mobile and desktop apps. You should look at the Phonegap case study : http://phonegap.com/case_study/phonegap-application-craft-pain-free-mobile-app-development/ @ Greg- another one for your list is Application Craft.

I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website? I'm getting tired of Wordpress because I've had issues with hackers and I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform. Hey there! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website?

It says so on one of their pages but not in their feature matrix. When downloading PhoneGap 1.4 there is no folder for windows mobile (The Windows one seems to be for Windows Phone). When I check the API docs it says which devices are supported for each functionality, no where can I find Windows Mobile. Any ideas? Does PhoneGap really support Windows Mobile?

"Micro" 32-bit or 64-bit "Small" 32-bit only "Large" 64-bit only Refer to "Instance Types" on the following page... http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/ I'm sure this architecture limitation is why the 64-bit version of Ubuntu Lucid LTS is not offerred on the "Small" instance. I have no idea why the "Small" instance is only offerred as 32-bit, but I'm sure that the "Large" instance is only offerred in 64-bit to accomodate the 7.5GB of memory. I checked into this and see that many people are asking Amazon to offer a "Small" 64-bit instance. I suppose I'll have to go with a 32-bit instance for now and migrate to a 64-bit OS if I ever need to upgrade from "Small" to "Large". @Houman

]]> Comment on Politifact app now in 5 mobile app stores – one Flex project by Alan Shutko http://gregsramblings.com/2011/08/09/politifact-app-now-in-5-mobile-app-stores-one-flex-project/#comment-176687 Alan Shutko Wed, 25 Jan 2012 18:28:13 +0000 http://gregsramblings.com/?p=2961#comment-176687 I found this while I was looking for what Politifact was written in, because it seemed a bit laggy. Here are the reasons I find it a bit unresponsive on the iPhone 4S: Switching between bottom tabs takes about a second or so after the click, without any response that I typed the button. This is in contrast to the nearly instant switch on native views. Clicking the People tab on the Truth-o-meter page takes about a full second before it recognizes the key press and slides to the next screen. Clicking back takes about the same amount of lag. The hit target seems smaller on the back button than it is on native NavigationControllers, because I often find myself missing the button and having to try again. The frame rate of scrolling is low. The momentum scrolling has a weird deceleration near the ends of the windows rather than keeping momentum and bouncing back like the native controls. Most of my concerns are nits like this. The app is still good because of its content, but it's noticeably less pleasant and more aggravation to use than other apps.
