mobile multiplatform development with native UI

i have developed an app, running on iphone and android, using phonegap and jquery mobile. The combination of them is really great.

To support multi platform, I have also evaluated some other platforms too, but the problem that i have is that the UI does not feel native (and although not a problem for most apps performance cannot be compared with native).

The only solution so far giving acces to native UI seems to be monotouch.

Do you have any suggestions on platforms offering native ui at least on iphone and android, regardless of language used?

Thanks.

The native UI is a puzzle indeed. You need read HIG firstly, cook UI with color and images to get close with system default ones. But if you are using PhoneGap thing, why do you even worry about it? Just rely on framework to get close the look and feel. Get your app really useful is more attractive than looking accustomed for user.

But it is important to adjust interactive design to avoid conflict. For example iOS navigation bar has return button in left most part, don't put it at right. And Android user will get disappoint if there is no response for long pressing or context menu key pressing.

The only way to have native UI response is to write native apps.
