Came across this interesting article on InfoQ about a survey on the adoption of various cross-platform tools by the developers. PhoneGap and Sencha Touch seem to be the top two tools actively used by developers. At the same time, PhoneGap doesn’t seem to be really a favourite tool.
It’s also not surprising to find people wanting to move away from Flex.
One cannot jump to any conclusions based on this survey but definitely interesting to read.

hey i wanna create a store sintilg app . right now i’m using my online server’s mysql database .but when i make an app using PhoneGap/Xcode how will it still communicate with the PHP on the server Is sqlite better to use?
You can still continue using PHP and MySQL database. The PhoneGap application can use AJAX calls to talk to your PHP page. For iOS you can use the NSUrlConnection class to interact with the server.
