Hi,
I've read with interest the recent thread about iPhone and Gears, and
the fact that given that iPhone Safari does not allow for plugins,
Gears is not an option.
I've came across PhoneGap, a sort-of Air environment for the iPhone,
that exposes Objective-C APIs as JavaScript APIs.

This could be a way to have Gears in the iPhone. I suggest that people
interested on having Gears on the iPhone look at PhoneGap. Maybe they
can include Gears in there, given that the recent Gears release for
Mac OS X includes an API for easy embedding.
Of course, it still remains to be seen if gears can even be ported to
run on Embedded Mac OS X :)
Best regards,
