This document discusses native mobile applications, hybrid mobile applications using PhoneGap/Cordova, and the Cordova architecture and API. It provides an overview of Cordova, explaining that it allows developing mobile apps with web technologies by embedding a browser in a native container, and bridges JavaScript calls to native device APIs. Key APIs exposed include accelerometer, camera, contacts, and geolocation. Examples of Cordova application projects are also given.
