A webview control is a component available on some mobile platforms that lets programmers incorporate the functionality of a web browser into their applications. The iPhone/iPad and Android both provide an instance of WebKit for this purpose. I believe that Windows Mobile 5 has a Pocket Internet Explorer ActiveX control along the same lines. The wrapper application is a native application (.net in the case of windows mobile) that uses the webview control to host a TiddlyWiki file. It needs some form of communication into the webview control in order to take over the "save" functionality; as far as I know all the controls allow this by letting hosts intercept specially constructed links navigated within the browser. >> FireFox is NOT Webkit-based > > Oops.

It's not possible to transfer local storage content between browsers/computers. So, it would let you persist changes made to a TiddlyWiki document, but those changes would be tied to that browser. It's more like a cache than a real storage mechanism.
