Does anyone have experience wrapping a jQuery Mobile web application in native web view? How does the performance of that stack (HTML5, JQM, native WebView) compare to PhoneGap and Titanium. From previous articles, my assumption is that the performance from slowest to fastest is: JQM > PhoneGap > Titanium > Native.

I haven't directly experimented with JQM in a WebView, but based on my experience with JQM on PhoneGap and Titanium in general I would not recommend that path. JQM is slow enough on its own, and Titanium has its own performance issues, so the two together would likely be a challenge.

If you're going for Titanium you might as well use native widgets instead of JQM - otherwise PhoneGap is probably a better choice.
