This occurred to me is as well when the new mobility focus was
announced a few weeks ago. If you or someone has interest to tinker
with the code, go ahead and add Ubuntu support :) There are indeed
many platforms which try to do the same as PhoneGap, so pick your
choice and add Ubuntu in front of developers' eyes!

In the end I guess it will mostly matter when some of those projects
really start to have developer mass, ie. real applications get
published to app stores from within the framework. In that phase it'd
be cool if a single button push would make it available also in Ubuntu
software center, right? I don't know if some high profile apps already
are published solely via eg. PhoneGap. Wikipedia app by Wikimedia
foundation and BBC Olympics look to be interesting.
