"providing in WebKit's javascript engine access to system services"

Yes, it's almost as if it were some kind of "intermediary" or "translation layer".

Right. One written in Objective-C, likely using the native iPhone UIWebView container and thus able to run Javascript, all supported languages.

We'll have to see how this pans out. The language in 3.3.1 puts Javascript and the Cs into two separate categories with regard to access to "the documented APIs" and taken at face value would appear to rule out Phonegap.

(and yes, I have looked at their source and know how it works.)
