PhoneGap and mobile pp development in general

[Sin_Chase]

So, for a while I have been considering getting into some mobile phone application development, for fun mainly and little project of my own but would be curious about some of the revenue generating side of it.

Was browsing some tech blogs and one made mention of a cross-platform development tool called PhoneGap.

The site is dead at the moment, no doubt being hammered but my question is, has anyone used it, and secondly - do you think it is worth it?

Outside of this app however can any recommend where is a good place to start?

Interesting. Most of my coding background is in web technologies so maybe worth a nosey.
