App Dev

I've been curious about taking web development to the next level with some actual app development but, in all honesty, am not that interested in the hurdle that is Objectiv-C. So, I've been having a look at a few frameworks and wondering if what they're selling is too good to be true or actually compiles to a snappy, legit feeling app.
  • PhoneGap - recently purchased by Adobe, this HTML5 platform supposedly "leverages web technologies developers already know best.. HTML and Javascript" but still compiles into native apps for iOS and Android.
  • Touchy Boilerplate - not so much for native apps but potentially a more useful starting point for a site that feels like an app. I've not enjoyed what I've experienced from Sencha or jQuery Mobile.. maybe this is what I've been looking for.
