30 Incredibly Useful & Fun HTML5 Mobile Apps

30 Incredibly Useful & Fun HTML5 Mobile Apps
Let's have some fun. Please do not try to check for code. Just play with the apps.

PhoneGap - a Bridge from JavaScript to Native Apps

Oh, yeah. You probably heard of PhoneGap but not really know what is it. Well... explained for idiots: write HTML+CSS+JavaScript and then hit Enter and magically turns in a native app. The app can be even submitted to the respective app store.

Currently, iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, Palm, Symbian and Windows Mobile are supported. I mean, everything.

 Learn more on PhoneGap dot com.

I believe this is the first childish try (like every first tries) for JavaScript to take over the world. But... soon. There will be more versions of PhoneGap and many more such services, there will be probably even on-line service for converting HTML page to native app. And the phones, tablets and other devices and gadgets producers and inventors will take count of JavaScript.

What do you say?

Why JavaScript is a toy language

Here is an article on why JavaScript is not really a solid language.

Understanding not only the pros, but also the cons of this language will offer you a different and larger perspective.

If  you worried too much: most of the cons are related to security and code exposure. I only want to say that this doesn't crumble my future world imagined with houses full of glass screens (or holograms, whateva) that would put you in the middle of the informational world with web apps run on JavaScript. Because in that world code stealing and thievery whouldn't exist.
