Hello HN -
I'm Rob, one of our core developers at Firebase and the lead on this project. I'm happy to answer any questions, and we'd love to hear your feedback!
While Firebase largely worked in PhoneGap prior to the latest releases, there were a few outstanding bugs specific to PhoneGap deployments that required special handling or attention, though websockets were not directly affected. As a sample, we had some previous errors around long-polling and creating iframes (used as a fallback when websockets fail) in PhoneGap, and most notably Firebase Simple Login was entirely unsupported in PhoneGap applications until this latest release.
Get started with the quick questionnaire at http://marrow.org/Join/Join_Now/Join_Now.aspx and they'll mail the kit to you within a few weeks.
