I wrote a wrapper for the Apache Cordova (Phonegap) API recently, so that
it could be used with ClojureScript. I got Hello World, etc up and running
without much fuss. There are however two issues:

1. Also a slow start-up time, since Phonegap already has resources to load,
and then a large JavaScript file on top of it. On a subpar device, this
wait was several seconds.

2. Using Phonegap itself feels very second-class, especially with regard to
the complex Android app lifecycle, things like Intents, and so on.

That said, if are basically building a webapp that just needs some access
to still inexistent APIs like camera, battery, compass etc, and you are
targeting better, recent-gen hardware, it (Phonegap) could be a nice
option. I'll also put the wrapper online soon.
