Two points here :
- PhoneGap abstracts the device specific APIs to provide device
independent access to the local pictures
- I don't believe we want to actually "sync" remote pictures,
primarily for storage limitations on the device, particularly if the
user has lots of album subscriptions, or his own picture staggered in
multiple repositories

Then, providing a user an option to enable/disable remote gallery sync
would
make it more sense (disable by default may be) and avoid unnecessary
battery usage and bandwidth of the users when it comes to large remote
photo sets
and local storage limitations as Luciano, mentioned.
