In case you haven't figured it out yet, debugging in mobile is "sub-optimal". (Whatever you do - don't do a Google Images search on sub-optimal.) Brian Leroux has an epic presentation on the topic and I highly encourage taking a look through it. I thought I'd share how I'm debugging in PhoneGap and Android right now.

There is an article floating around the web today, warning against “Shell Apps” and tools like PhoneGap. The logic in this article has a few arguments that are misleading, and I’d like to introduce some counter arguments as they relate to PhoneGap and HTML experiences for comparison.

Let's face it: most development takes place on a desktop/notebook computer, not on a mobile device. Andrew Trice, PhoneGap enthusiast, has noticed a few specific roadblocks raised by the browser security model that complicate debugging mobile apps -- even though desktop browsers, like any browser, can handle HTML5 just fine.

PhoneGap lets you build apps in HTML5 for all mobile platforms. It doesn't actually recreate every single native API, but it can be extended pretty easily to map any native API to JavaScript. Andrew Trice explained how in a recent presentation at the Baltimore JavaScript Users Group, and wrote up the content in this article.
