Is there a way to convert processing apps to native iPhone app's?

Alternatively... there's a nice jQuery library for processing, but can that be used with the various cross-platform "develop using HTML/JS, get a native app" conversion?

A: 

Sort version: no, there is no native app converter in existence for this. A project like this requires a huge amount of effort, and Apple's current terms forbid this (though they have yet to enforce that rule AFAIK).

Basically, it just isn't popular enough to warrant this, especially when the platform itself runs decently inside the browser. There's no converter or "Processing VM" out there at the moment...and I wouldn't wait for one either, this will likely never happen, since the browser itself is capable.
