Let me recommend MobiOne Developer (http://genuitec.com/mobile) as a much better alternative for learning what the mobile web frameworks can do and for developing and previewing your own code on a Windows machine. The MobiOne iPhone emulator uses a custom pimped out webkit core for accurate rendering and supports full webclip/webapp offline mode, geolocation api, orienation and multitouch.
