Somewhat offtopic---do you have an opinion on ludei vs. phonegap, or know someone who does? Working on a js project I'd like to port to mobile, and somewhat bewildered by the choices...

PhoneGap just runs on the built-in web controls of the platform. Ludei reimplements the web control to run faster. Generally you only use the latter for games and graphics intensive apps.

I haven't personally used phonegap. I have had a fried/co-worker who really likes it though. For me personally, ludei solved the problem of getting WebGL to run on the other devices and that's why I used it. I think phonegap is more well known compared to ludei (just my personal feeling) and thus may have a bigger community around it. If it's an application I would say look into phonegap if it's a game look into ludei. Or try both and see which one you prefer.
