I realize this is a bit old - but it now looks like you can use a FileReader in phoneGap.

I haven't tested this yet, but something like this should also work, without the canvas hack.

[EDIT - tested and revised the code below. works for me :D ]

var cfn = function(x) { console.log(x) };
var cameraOps = { quality: 50, destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI };
navigator.camera.getPicture(function(imagePath) {
    window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(imagePath, function(fileEntry) {
        fileEntry.file(function (file) {
            var reader = new FileReader();
            reader.onloadend = function(evt) {
                console.log("read success!!!");
                console.log(evt.target.result);
            };
            reader.readAsDataURL(file);
        }, cfn);
    }, cfn);
}, cfn);
