Hey...when I purchased my 1st generation iPhone the 2nd week it came out, I jailbroke it and had Apache + php installed on it. I was then writing & running scripts locally. After awhile I found a decent UI framework and was using it to handle all my scripts. It was pretty cool being able to bookmark the scripts on the home screen and making appear to be a regular installed app. Anyway, here's the link to the wiki of the framework, it would be neat if someone took this and ported it for the ipad..the code is pretty damn simple so it shouldn't be much work....

I would be careful using PastryKit. I know after John's article when some people hosted un-minified versions on GitHub they were soon met with takedown notices from Apple. They may have decided they can't stop everyone un-minifying it but I can't see them letting anyone make any money off using it. Doesn't stop you learning from it though.
I'm currently starting an iPad web app - does anyone have any advice or recommendations for using PastryKit (or another js & css framework) for building native-looking iPad apps?
I'm guessing PastryKit, JSTouch, etc could all be reformatted for iPad but wondering if anyone has already tried this?

Have you looked at Appcelerator Titanium? That will give you native iPad widgets.
I haven't used it yet but I've been planning to dig in.
