The app I am working on works pretty flawlessly on both iPhone's WebKit and Android's (On G1) WebKit. The only issue I see is that the animations DashCode uses are ignored and there are issues with using the glass buttons that DashCode creates. I use HTML 5 client side storage also.
The platform is the same on both phones, WebKit. The wrapper may be different.
