Hi Nick, Unfortunately including native UI is incongruent to our project philosophy of creating "mobile apps with HTML, CSS & JS". We try to follow web standards when possible and not resort to native ui unless we need to fix some deficiencies that can't be avoided (statusbar for example).
Even if we wanted to (as plugins), we can't, because we don't have the resources.
