Re: Survey of mobile APIs

This looks great!  Iıll try to take a pass through them next week and add

For telephony - Phonegap *should* offer the same support of the browser
platform for the selected OS.  I know there were a few bugs that theyıve
fixed with tel: protocol handler not being launched properly, but there
are noted workarounds.
