What do the colors mean? Do you have any dates in mind for feature completion? Would love to hear...

I put in colors for BlackBerry and green means complete, yellow is work in progress and red is not gonna happen in the forseable future for whatever reason. It is getting complicated with blackberry but I think that we might just start with support for OS 4.6 and above since the browser in OS 4.5 and below sucks big time.

We should add some dates to that maybe. A lot of the features are coming from needs of people that are building apps with it today so dates are tough :)

I'd like to recommend adding Socket conenctions to this list. I used the socket functionality of Jiggy extensively and it was very useful. I would love to see similar functionality in PhoneGap.

I'm not sure if creating custom event handlers like this is even possible in PhoneGap, but I'm willing to give it a try. I have some initial Cocoa code up and running to connect to sockets and listen for data, now I just need to apply it to PhoneGap. Is it even possible to do this kind of two-way communication between javascript and cocoa?

The full socket command listing from Jiggy is here:

I think should be improved the geolocation features, considering to add support for knowing level of the GPS signal.
In addition possibility to include and play audio and/or video from aan internet source.
Also improved the map support. For example is not possible to pass through the query string an url for a kml/kmz file

Maybe a support for Windows Mobile is possible in conjunction with Google Gears Mobile?

I see that contacts, sqlite wrapper, and maps are in the roadmap as being complete but I don't see any JavaScript calls for these in the download I did today. Am I missing something?

I changed colors for BlackBerry - I'm working on SMS, and adhoc Wi-Fi is not supported.
