Use of phonegap for the development of apps on several patforms

just wanted to clear a confusion concerning phonegap,

My area of interest is mainly Android and Iphone. What I really understand about phonegap is that the phonegap app is platform independant when no native libs are ysed and thus run both on iphone and android. Thus if i build an android app on eclipse using phonegap without using any native libs, will it run on iphone as well??

No, you will still need to build for iPhone as well. You can use the same source code for all systems.

Nope, this is not exactly the case.

Phonegap enables you to write cross-platform code (HTML, JS, CSS), but when it comes to building, you have to compile this code to a specific environment for each OS. For example you can build the Android version using eclipse, and the iOS version using Xcode.

Hope this helps!
