PhoneGap - launch an other app from current app

Question

I'm developing a phonegap based app for android and wondering how to run another app or even go to the android marketplace when the wished app is not installed in current device.

Any help would be appreciated.

Yes Dozent, it is possible but you'll probably end up needing to write a plugin to call an Android Intent. Many of the core PhoneGap API's like Camera use Intents.
