I've just gotten this project to do at my company that basically involves me taking our company's existing web app and converting it to a mobile app. That we can then port to devices such as Android and iPhone etc using PhoneGap.

I only know of 2 platforms for this namely ApplicationCraft and Titanium from Appcelerator. Which of these 2 would you say is the better one and if there's others that might be better than this, what are they? What's your thoughts on them etc?

ApplicationCraft I dont know.Titanium from Appcelerator i have worked on that. In this developer need to write code in JavaScript. this code is later compile to native code. the output will be android package build (apk file)& ios applicaiton build.

HTML5 Development comes with frameworks with build In UI components these are in JavaScript. JQuery mobile, Phone gap & sencha touch.

also there are Editors available with syntax checking, auto completing features. espresso mac aptana.

My suggestion is don't go for Titanium from Accelerator. Many API's are not cross platform supported.It is still in development mode. I have faced lot errors while developing application.

Their is one more framework called Sencha Touch. Sencha Touch is a high-performance HTML5 mobile application framework. Sencha Touch is the only framework that enables developers to build fast and impressive apps that work on iOS, Android, BlackBerry, Kindle Fire, and more.

Sencha Api is a good name in Javascript before Sencha Touch came therefore very big names are using Sencha Touch. the advantage in using Sencha Touch is, it is very fast reliable and based on html5.

Just check their demo here
