Any disadvantages of using JQTouch/Phonegap over Android API?

Are there any main disadvantages of using JQTouch/Phonegap to put together Android Apps / Tablet Apps rather than using the Android API.

I basically want to progr开发者_开发知识库am an app for a client that will sell music (connect to existing PHP site) and use geographical info to show bands/gigs close by - again via interrogation of their current PHP site.

I have years of Jquery experince and good HTML5/css3 knowledge so JQtouch/Phonegap would be the most straightforward option, but just wanted to make sure I'm not heading down the wrong path!

Regards Paul

You can see for your self. Comparison Chart .I would any day go with Android SDK over Phonegap. In your case you can use Phonegap. Are you planing to deploy it on iOS too ?
