title: iOS XCode native vs PhoneGap for speed of development
body: <p>I'm aiming to do an app like Badoo:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/meet-new-people-chat-socialize/id351331194?mt=8" rel="nofollow">http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/meet-new-people-chat-socialize/id351331194?mt=8</a></p>
  
  <p>Basically it involves chatting with people and GPS geo-location.</p>
  
  <p>Question is - I have two options:</p>
  
  <p>A. Have this developed in native XCode for iOS </p>
  
  <p>OR</p>
  
  <p>B. Have this developed in HTML5 + PhoneGap</p>
  
  <p>Assuming either route is with an experienced developer, how much time does B save over route A in terms of getting a viable product out?</p>
  
  <p>Performance， speed, and UI are all important for this, so obviously native is ideal... but how much time would PhoneGap save in getting it out?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks so much！</p>
