PhoneGap: hybrid web app. http://phonegap.com

• javascript
• uses w3c standards (including future api's)
• Web part / Native part
• web part: uses local web browser (mostly webkit)
• native part: called through special 'gap://...' urls
  • string parameters
  • asynchronous
• temporary solution till browser capabilities are enhanced

GWT

• integrated debugging
• deferred binding
• optimal siz
• can be combined with PhoneGap

mgwt http://www.m-gwt.com

• native look and feel
• optimizing compiler
• local / offline support (appcache)
