Adobe buys Nitobi, developer of PhoneGap

Just yesterday, Habré discussed the release of the open beta PhoneGap Build - an online application converter from HTML5 to a binary for mobile platforms (Android, iOS, webOS, Symbian, etc.). And right after that came the really unexpected news that Adobe was buying a startup Nitobi, developer of PhoneGap.

However, not everything is so bad. Simultaneously with the deal agreement, Adobe and Nitobi agreed to give PhoneGap for public use. Now the framework becomes a free project and goes under the wing of the Apache Software Foundation. True, he will have to find another name. So far, Apache Callback is used as a worker.
