Kev is right re. phone gap -- you can get a decent native-feeling app, but
there are certainly limits.  The JavaScript engine will not be able to JIT,
and things like 'swipe' functionality will not be as smooth as for a real
native app.  Something to mention with phonegap - you probably won't be able
to use the MooTools version of the APE JSF, you will have to use the
JavaScript.js implementation instead; this means you will have differences
between your actual code and the APE documentation/examples.

One option is to implement the APE protocol over web sockets using the iOS
native SDK.   If you are an experienced C hacker and grok HTTP, you should
be able to sniff packets and reverse engineer the protocol, leading to a
working stack in about a week.
