I'm the OP, so yes, I found it inadequate :). For a podcast app, even using PhoneGap (rather than browser-based web app) would lead to several issues:
* Hard or impossible to do rich, interactive widgets, notifications, and lock-screen in HTML5
* Unclear path for downloading and saving large files. (Might be possible, but again would need native bridges or native code; forget about Ajax and offline HTML5 storage.)
* Mediocre UI. If you work hard at it, you can build a reasonable UI, but one of the feedbacks we got from reviews and reporters is how they like the way we implemented Android's Holo look-and-feel. A lot of people feel an emotional attachment to their OS and appreciate apps that fit within the guidelines.
