Phonegap can work if you have a very efficient webview component. It can be 
less than useful if you use things like jQuery and other huge libraries 
that are designed for the desktop. If you stick with code you've written 
yourself and minimize the extraneous libraries and have a relatively simple 
app, things like Phonegap and other webview based technologies can work.

I had a webview app that did the entire UI in HTML, CSS and JavaScript that 
served over a million users for nearly two years. It worked very well on 
devices from the G1 to the N1. We've since re-written it in Android Java.

The bottom line on webview apps is they are ok for simple, single screen 
type apps that don't contain a lot of moving elements. Once you start to 
add animations and other fancy things, they get slow and ponderous.
