Using PhoneGap for Competitive Analysis
We're considering PhoneGap for building our competitive analysis application on Android tablets this year. That would let students program in Javascript/HTML/CSS rather than having to learn the details of Android development. Last year we used hard wired Android tablets connected to a locally hosted web server running on a Raspberry Pi. We had enough issues with running ethernet cables all over the stands and dropped matches that we'd like to switch to Bluetooth and a system where the tablets store up all their data and transfer it when they have a connection to a server.
I'd love to hear the experiences of teams who have already used PhoneGap for this application. Would you do it again? How do you transfer data (flash drive, Bluetooth, cables?) Did you use the Adobe or the open source version?

Successful teams - in almost any aspect of life (i.e. not just robotics) - don't make excuses and assign blame when something goes wrong. They improvise. They adapt. They overcome. They correct the problem and move on. - dlavery [more]
