You can use .load() or $.ajax() in PhoneGap applications. Most of my experience is with getting information from the same domain under which the app. is packaged. For example:

I just did a simple test in an iPhone emulator (via Xcode) and I was able to get the contents of a personal web domain as well as http://www.google.com/. Test was as follows:

        alert(data);
    });
});
