I’m having this weird problem, where including the phonegap.js file in my project causes the app to crash on both the android emulator and my phone. I got the latest file from GitHub, so I can’t see why this isn’t working.
This happens even if I try to build the sample project that’s included in the PhoneGap download…

Sorry about the gigantic log posts, but I don’t know what is of importance here…
Are you by any chance using the Android 2.3 simulator? There is a known bug in the 2.3 simulator where the JavaScript->Java bridge is dysfunctional.
See the following Android issue for more details (and star it so that the Google team knows this is a big deal!):
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=12987
Apparently this is not an issue on real devices running Android 2.3 (anecdotally this has been reported).
