I don't think this works in iOS 7. I tried this with a hello world and added an element in my index.html called 'img'. eg. It loads the file picker but after you select the image it does not display. I attempted your example here after 6 hours of trying to make this very thing work in my app, I think there is a bug in iOS with loading images from the /tmp/ directory. I tried moving the image to the root but still can't display it to the user. I can upload it to a server a load it back in though, that seems to work.

(I am running cordova 3.5.0-0.2.6)

I upgraded to 3.6.0-0.2.9, bug still exists when testing this code in the PhoneGap app.
