+PhoneGap
+=============================================================
+PhoneGap is a development tool that allows web developers to 
+take advantage of the core features in the iPhone and Android 
+SDK using JavaScript.
 
-## Javascript API

-#### Geo Location

-    //request location
-    getLocation();
-
-    //GAP will invoke this function once it has the location
-    function gotLocation(lat,lon){
-    	$('lat').innerHTML = "latitude: " + lat;
-    	$('lon').innerHTML = "longitude: " + lon;

+Each project has a respective README.md file. view that file 
+for detailed information on how to work with that device. PhoneGap 
+offers one unified API for accessing core functionality on all 
+devices. Where possible, phonegap follows the **HTML5 spec**.

+optimized for web browsers and weighs in at 6.2k.
