Co-creator of PhoneGap here. This isn't much different from using phonegap and that is the point. PhoneGap was created because this is how we felt SDKs should be designed. The difference here is that Mozilla built FirefoxOS from the ground up with web technology whereas PhoneGap is a shim on top of existing SDKs. The goal is that all devices will expose this API from a web view to make cross platform development much more palatable, negating the need for tools like PhoneGap. Good on Mozilla on this one. I have high hopes for this OS.
