Finally a tool that lets you program ON a tablet FOR a tablet?

As many of you may know, one of the beefs I (and a number of other folks have) with current tablets are the inability to program on a tablet for the tablet. I am sure there is "some" way to setup Eclipse to allow a basic version of this to occur for Android, but have yet to see anyone do it successfully.

So imagine my pleasure at finding PhoneGap - a tool that will let you program in HTML5 and CSS, and then submit the GIT project to their server which will then generate the iOS, Android, and WebOS app for you.

Have been able to get into the Beta and went through the fun of setting up my SSH key (which is generally recommended for doing a GIT repository anyway), and now need to do the actual CODING piece. But I am looking forward to seeing if I can't get College Romance onto yet another platform (or three) :-)

If you've gotten further along with the tool, drop all of us a note so we can check it out!
