I've been using Appcelerator Titanium Mobile for cross-platform iPhone and 
Android native app development.  It's uses javascript to abstract the native 
language - which is nice because you can write once for multiple platforms 
(doesn't support as many as PhoneGap - but as far as I can tell, produces a 
more native-feel app).  I then create JSON apis on the server running php for 
anything that needs server storage/interaction.  They're about to launch a 1.5 
version with some major enhancements (and improved documentation/guides).  I 
definitely recommend checking it out when that is released.

I saw the latest Zend Framework added some abstraction for PHP browser 
detection which sounds ideal.  I have been using WURFL - but it's fairly heavy 
and complicated to setup.  The new library in Zend Framework can still plugin 
into the WURFL data which is cool.
