You may be wondering how I am doing intents with an ebedded webview web based app such as Xspot:
There are certain challenges. One, iPhone apps currently do not run in background and thus any intent like event has to be sent by other means. Two, on non Android and iPhone systems there is no set intnent API in place. However, the hooks that PhoneGap provides are enough to come up with that API to match what is on Android and iPhone and thus actually have real functioning intents with my Xspot application.
