PhoneGap/Callback allows developers to build mobile apps using web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript that can access device capabilities and be deployed to various mobile platforms. It works by packaging web assets into a native application container using a hidden browser instance. It has gained popularity due to its support for multiple platforms and ability to leverage web development skills.
