title: PhoneGap: To what extent can I interact with native UI components?
body: <p>I've been using PhoneGap for a while mainly focused at iOS and using mostly 100% web code.</p>
  
  <p>I'm about to investigate PhoneGap for another project where there is a desire to leverage the device's native form input components.</p>
  
  <p>An example is the date picker. The spinners in iOS, the 'clicker' in Android, etc.</p>
  
  <p>To what extent does/can PhoneGap access native UI components like that? If I'm targetting iOS4, can I call the native device date picker from my HTML/JS?</p>
  
  <p>(I should add that I know this is not the preferred model...the entire point of PhoneGap is to be able to manage less code across more devices and standardizing on a shared UI is the better bet...but I'm investigating the options requested...)</p>
