PhoneGap online app builder

I just tried the new Phonegap online service, and it’s pretty impressive.  I already had a mobile html website handy, so all I had to do was upload it as a zip file.  Within minutes, I was running it on my Android phone.  It had also built iPhone, Android, WebOS, and Symbian apps.  It would have completed one for Blackberry too but it found some compatibility errors which it kindly pointed out to me.

Here are screenshots:

HTML5, WordPress, and Content Management Systems

In a move that’s sure to strengthen the forward momentum of HTML5, a new toolbox has been launched for the WordPress content management system.

If you have a supported browser, you can view the HTML5 theme here. While not visually impressive, behind the scenes this theme helps make it easier for developers of any website to be compatible with HTML5.

As explained by Ian Stewart:

A toolbox is something you keep by your side when you’re working on a project. When you need a tool, you reach in and grab one. We hope that the Toolbox theme can work the same way when you’re renovating your own WordPress themes. Reach in to the Toolbox and copy-paste whatever you like into your own theme. It can be a big help.

Expect many more announcements like this in the new future as increased HTML5 support rolls out on all browsers across web and mobile.
