Hi James,
I was able to get your example working with a few corrections below:
1. onLoad function is not called; you can call it as <body onload="onLoad()">
but it is much simpler just to place document.addEventListener inline to main
script.
//function onLoad() {
document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
//}
2. Actually all files from Cordova www folder are located in the following
folder in isolated storage: app/www; so you should use the following path when
accessing readme.txt (even if it is located in the same folder as index.html):
fileSystem.root.getFile("app/www/readme.txt", null, gotFileEntry, fail);
Hope this helps! Below is a full version of index.html which works for me.

Subject: Can't get cordova 2.2 File api to work.
Hey,
I am trying to open and write/read a file on WinPhone 7.10.xxx or 7.5 using
File api.
Here is the app in index.html and error following.
Says it can't load content which makes me think html is malformed but can't
find any.
Can anybody tell me what is wrong or try it out?
Index.html
