Using Phonegap you have access to a great number of mobile capabilites, like camera, accelerometer, and almost all other. But you should take care when using HTML5 features, because they may not be compatible with all mobile systems, as Phonegap uses the native browser inside a native app (an Android Phonegap App will use the native Android browser, for example). But it’s completelly possible to create almost any app not relying on exclusive HTML5 features

I’m using it to create simple* apps, like trivia games, form based apps, etc. I’m loving it, as I’m already a web developer just using my HTML/CSS/JS skills for mobile.

Here you can see a lot of real world projects.

_{What I mean with “simple” is that I’d not recommend Phonegap to create a fast paced game with lots of elements moving (using canvas, JavaScript or whatever). For that I would recommend Adobe Air(Flash) or native Java.}
