Can I believe that, I can develop an app with HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript and then compile it with PhoneGap for Android, iOS and Win Phone 7?
Does this work?

PhoneGap is an Open Source framework that helps build hybrid applications which work on most mobile platforms such as Android, iOS, Blackberry, Windows Phone among others. Framework provides a container that bridges the native APIs to the web view.
PhoneGap is a software development framework by Adobe System, which is used to develop mobile applications. To develop apps using PhoneGap, the developer does not require to have knowledge of mobile programming language but only web-development languages like, HTML, CSS, and JScript.
Adobe just announced that PhoneGap and PhoneGap Build are shutting down.
PhoneGap is an application framework that enables you to build natively installed applications using HTML and JavaScript. The easiest way to think of PhoneGap is a web view container that is 100% width and 100% height, with a JavaScript programming interface that allows you to access operating system features.
PhoneGap's platform support is quite well documented:

For the most part, yes ... though the individual feature support is still coming up in some platforms. edit: previously this mentioned that windows phone wasn't supported yet, this is now a fully supported platform :-) http://phonegap.com/2011/12/20/phonegap-for-windows-phone-getting-started/
As far as how to create the packages for each individual platform, by default if doing things locally you'll have to integrate the phonegap bits into a project and compile it using that platform's build tools manually. However, they are working on a service called PhoneGap Build that will automatically create packages for each platform on your behalf:

For readers from the future, full Windows Phone 7 support in PhoneGap is working now.
