Go Tiggr!

Hi guys,

Have a look at this cool tool. http://www.gotiggr.com/

You can create mobile apps on-line, and run it on different mobile platforms. Try it out. It has a trial period. Let me know what do you think about it.

It may remind you of PhoneGap. I think it uses it as backend engine.

Cheers,
Yanguo
