I’ve heard that one show stopper for phonegap+Android is that, in contrast to the iphone webkit browser, the android webkit browser does not allow _local_ web pages to make ajax calls to _any_ external servers (violation of same origin policy). Is this true, and if so, how did you get around it.

Nice app, btw. Any plans to open source it ;)
cheers!

Umm if you can make that app so that it will stream the contest when it’s on, I will be ALL over it. Surf geek + phone geek = me.

PhoneGap is awesome.

Titanium Mobile is also worth checking out. I know the lead developer for the Android fork of Titanium Mobile who is doing some amazing things over there.
