null is not an object

Like the MiniDisc or the Atari Jaguar CD, web applications, rich internet applications to be specific, are a thing of the past. Yes a bold statement to be sure. Well maybe not a thing of the past but certainly in their current form.

I think that @PanMan summed it up best when he tweeted:

“Phonegap is definitely one of the most exiting developments for mobile developers these days…“

Yes the future is PhoneGap and the future is Rich Mobile Applications - RMAs for short. They can run on the phone native or as a web page but we of course think that being able to build applications using JavaScript and HTML rather than Objective-C and still having access to all the fun phone APIs like geolocation, mapping, calling / SMSing people, bluetooth etc is a very nice thing indeed.
