What do you think?

Solution

  • I doubt you'll have much success in getting objective answers with empirical evidence on this here. The PhoneGap community (although growing) is already a small subset of the mobile development community. I doubt many have start-to-finish implemented actual performance tests of these stacks and compared them:

    Sencha-Touch -> PhoneGap -> Native iOS
Sencha-Touch -> PhoneGap -> Native Android

    vs

    jqTouch -> PhoneGap -> Native iOS
jqTouch -> PhoneGap -> Native Android

    etc.

    I'd try looking around for comparisons of the various JS frameworks themselves for any notable performance differences and start testing the PhoneGap implementations yourself to see if the PhoneGap wrap affects the performance of each beyond the margins of difference between the individual frameworks. Or perhaps you could consult directly with the PhoneGap documentation and/or dev team yourself as I imagine they've had to test on various platforms and frameworks already.

    Just a suggestion.
