I'm developing a time management application using asp.net MVC 3 and jqTouch for iPhone web.
Is there a good date picker or calendar control I can use with MVC jQTouch?
I use the iPhoneDate library and it works really well under jqtouch.

Is there some-kind of open-source (or commercial) toolkit, framework or iOS component that would simplify process of making iPhone app for news-like website?
I know there are on-line services that create a native iPhone app from your blog (Wordpress, Blogger, ...), but we have a custom-build news site and we need a native iPhone app. Is there something cool to begin with, some kind of framework or toolkit that would offer you a basic setup like data fetching, caching, categorizing and common UI in terms of native iOS UIKit elements? Or is the only way to go do-it-yourself-from-beginning-to-the-end?
As far as I know, there are a couple of SDKs that will allow you to create full Apps using html, css and javascript.
Phonegap (http://phonegap.com/)
Cordova (http://cordova.apache.org/)
I'm studying the best plataform for developing a mobile app (for Android, first) which will have a lot of web interactions, like loading XML, images and interactions with Facebook(loading contacts, for example).
I want know if a app created with PhoneGap can behave like a normal web page(if can use Jquery for Ajax, etc), or I'll have problems doing that.
Thanks!
Yes, you can use jQuery and Ajax with PhoneGap.
I'd like to have a mobile interface for my Grails app, and am wondering how to go about it, namely how to create the UI.
Google search quickly revealed iUI and the iUI Grails plugin. Both don't seem to be maintained any longer, last releases being in 2009. Despite their version numbers, are they in a usable state?
Are there any alternatives? I remember seeing another plugin for this, but now I cannot find it.
Right now, all we have are iphone clients. In the long run, does a web-app benefit from a vendor-neutral interface, or is it more prudent to create an interface per platform?
I can suggest that you look at Mobl-lang, JQuery Mobile or PhoneGap as your frontend and let your Grails app deliver data to the frontend as JSON
There is grails plugin for iphone like layout http://www.grails.org/plugin/iwebkit.
Here is the reference to stack-overflow ticket which discusses the same issue.
iWebkit vs. JQTouch vs. iUI
I am developing an app which needs to display in the webbrowser on an iphone. Are there any toolkits out there which can help with this?
I use jQuery Mobile all the time!
It is great!

You can use the WebView from the MapKit framework to embed web content in an iPhone application.
I'm planning to develop a web application that targets the iPhone. I will use APT.NET to develop the application. I will probably use ASP.NET MVC.
I'm researching how I will imitate the native iPhone look and feel in my web application. I'm looking for an approach that will be easy to use with the ASP.NET platform.
So far, I found iUI (code.google.com/p/iui/). iUI a collection of CSS stylesheets and javascripts to imitate the native iPhone look and feel. I'm not sure yet how easy it is to integrate with ASP.NET as most samples are static html.
What are good ways to imitate the native iPhone look and feel in a web app developed with the ASP.NET platform?

I just want to let you know that I also found http://iwebkit.net/. I will test it in the upcoming days.
If you have other suggestions, I will greatly appreciate.
Thanks
Take a look at these:
Rock the iPhone with ASP.NET MVC
Create iPhone Applications using ASP.NET AJAX
The server-side platform you use is irrelevant to the front-end look and feel, it is the same techniques on any platform.
I have also used the iUI framework with great success, using a Django backend. The front-end is determined purely by the HTML, CSS and JavaScript that you serve up, which is independant of the server-side code.
ASP.NET MVC gives you a lot more control over your markup than plain-old WebForms, so it should be ideal for this.
I'm the OP. I'm updating this question with a new answer:
