However recently Apple has rejected a number of phonegap-based apps — see Mike Nachbaur’s blog — needless to say we are concerned, and the phonegap people (developers and users alike) are bordering on outraged, and certainly scared. Mike Nachbaur did the right thing and sent Apple a politely written open letter, which they acknolwegded but apparently have not responded to yet.

Ajaxian complained, and ReadWriteWeb offered some potential reasons for Apple to be rejecting phonegap apps. Not least of which being that Apple may want to make cross-platform development more difficult than it has to be.

To us at Logimake this may mean the following:

1. Because our time spent learning and developing for the iPhone will not easily benefit our strategy on other mobile platforms, we will have to spend more time right now on Android and Blackberry (using phonegap, perhaps), to compensate for the loss of synergy
2. Because it is still not clear yet whether the iPhone will become a serious player in the enterprise, that loss of synergy is making it doubly imperative to develop on a Blackberry-enabled platform like phonegap. 

Apple’s forte on the iPhone is in consumer apps, and it has lots to prove in enterprise apps — and integration. By keeping cross-platform frameworks, and hence applications, at bay, Apple may be reducing its own potential success in the enterprise.

We are eagerly waiting any news from Mike or Apple.
