PhoneGap on its blog has made an interesting distinction between two types of Hybrid applications -
- Web Hybrid: This is the default approach that PhoneGap takes. You package your apps as HMTL5/CSS3 and then run the app in a thin native web view container. All the UI controls are HTML or JavaScript controls.
- Native Hybrid: In this approach, you build a native app and use native controls for navigation, menus, etc. But most of the content pages are HTML views rendered in a web view. The HTML content can come from the local store or the server.
