I seriously doubt iphone web development is dead, there are plenty of
uses for web development on iphone. The business case is similar to
the reason you would choose a web application over a desktop
application.
1) You need server based resources and need to provide capabilities
that native apps can't , ie. server push.
2) your application is outside the guidlines of the app store. Thus
can only be an online application.
3) you are creating a web/native hybrid which runs inside webkit .
I was curious to see how many iphone open source projects are out
there, in searching google I find quite a few.
Your probably talking pure javascript or php so this might not help
you, But our project uses java based server apps and dashboard derived
code. It might interest you or at least generate some ideas.
We gave up on that some time ago for a few reasons . One most of our
development team is java or Objective C and we really did not want to
learn a new tool. Secondly java web apps are very easy to deploy as a
single war file. Java is very robust and can easily handle the
multimedia applications we are developing. Our web apps will
eventually be deployed inside c wrappers and some of them will
probably make it to the app store.
We have three in development right now
1) A ArtShow simple image folder browser which is our proof of
concept for our applications which integrate dashcode and a very good
ajax platform called icefaces.

2) A bonjor/upnp video browser , which will play streaming video from
media servers discovered on a wide or local network.
3) tagalong - a new concept in menu systems. Using a very managed
integrated server push approach to an application.
Pictures of tagalong POC, a working demo will be available very soon
