Can iphone web apps, be put on appstore for sale, just like native apps?

Question

Can iphone web apps be sold on appstore, without requiring user to do manual bookmark, etc?

Answer 1

Technically, no. But you could potentially create a native iPhone app that just contains a UIWebView pointing to your mobile optimized site. I highly doubt Apple would approve this but I'm not positive.

Answer 2

Yes, you can create webapps and put them in the IStore under webapps
