I've been thinking the same thing, although perhaps an option would be the 
web server also be local to the mobile device - which would be nifty, 
because then you could also connect to the app running on the mobile device 
via a browser on a desktop/laptop and have the advantage of a real 
keyboard, more screen real estate, etc.

So IMHO the question is how easy would it be to use something like jQuery 
Mobile - http://jquerymobile.com/ - via pyjs, so you could take advantage 
of gestures and other types of UI specific to mobile devices. (jQuery 
Mobile is just one of tons of options.)

If the back end web server was also running on the device, you could also 
take advantage of back-end native features like integration with push and 
notification services.

Am I correct in thinking that this is something that would have to be added 
to pyjs core - e.g. so there would be "pyjs" for non-mobile web browsers, 
"pyjs Desktop" for desktop applications, and a new "pyjs Mobile Web" for 
smartphones and tablets?
