Detecting device orientation changes and resizing content appropriately for portrait and landscape modes.

PhoneGap allows developers to build mobile apps using standard web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It works by embedding a webview component within a native container, and provides a bridge for JavaScript to access some device APIs. PhoneGap has grown a large community and supports many mobile platforms. While it allows cross-platform development, apps are still packaged natively and some limitations remain. The future roadmap includes improved plugin support and new features like web sockets and background services to enhance the capabilities of hybrid mobile apps.
