    <p>You are asking about 2 completely different frameworks.</p> <p><strong>Phonegap</strong> is only a wrapper framework around other HTML5 GUI frameworks. It can only be used to create a hybrid mobile application and to give it ability to access different phone functions.</p> <p>On the other hand <strong>Sencha</strong> Touch is a HTML5 framework for rich web applications that can also be used to create a hybrid mobile application. Sencha can also be packaged with Phonegap, so again you can see they are different frameworks made for different purposes. </p> <p>Only way <strong>Phonegap</strong> can compete with <strong>Sencha</strong> is if you use it with some other HTML5 framework like <strong>jQuery Mobile</strong>. So basically your question is should I use <strong>Sencha</strong> Touch or <strong>Phonegap</strong> + some HTML5 framework.</p> <p>My advice would be, if you have time learn and use <strong>Sencha</strong> Touch. It alone works better than <strong>Phonegap</strong> + <strong>jQuery Moible</strong>. If you want to find out more about Sencha Touch and jQuery Mobile difference take a look <strong><a href="http://www.gajotres.net/sencha-touch-vs-jquery-mobile/">here</a></strong>. BUT, you will spend much more time learning how to create a <strong>Sencha</strong> Touch app while <strong>jQuery Mobile</strong> can be learned much much faster. Also <strong>Phonegap</strong> has a HUGE set of plugins so if you planing to create something more complex they I would advise you <strong>Phonegap</strong> approach. </p> <p>If you want to give PhoneGap and jQuery Mobile a chance take a look <strong><a href="http://www.gajotres.net/building-a-native-mobile-app-with-phonegap-and-jquery-mobile-1-4/">here</a></strong>, currently last jQuery Mobile version is pretty fast, still not as fast as Sencha Touch but it is finally usable with Phonegap.</p> <p>You can always go even further, why limit your self with Sencha Touch or jQuery Mobile, even PhoneGap has competition.</p> <p>There are two excellent article discussing differences among 14 (7 + 7) different HTML5 mobile frameworks:</p> <ul> <li><p><a href="http://www.gajotres.net/top-7-mobile-application-html5-frameworks/"><strong>TOP 7 MOBILE APPLICATION HTML5 FRAMEWORKS</strong></a></p></li> <li><p><strong><a href="http://www.gajotres.net/top-7-notable-less-known-mobile-html5-frameworks/">TOP 7 NOTABLE LESS KNOWN MOBILE HTML5 FRAMEWORKS</a></strong></p></li> </ul>
