its similar to an iframe. yes anything is possible, and the problem with apps that demand internet is not everyone is online all the time, its annoying when connections drop and you cant use an app, this happens with games and tons of apps that demand internet...

Since these are for people with already existing mobile sites, it makes sense. You'd only be able to access it via the internet anyhow. It would be great to do these so that people could view them offline, but the amount on content on some of adult mobile sites would have people installing 100mb apps to their phones.
You are right about Webview by default ditching the "app" to open clicked links into the browser. I've gone a little bit further than that. Everything remains within the webview, well accept for MP3, MP4 and 3GP...all those get played through the mediaplayer(default...they just get ignored). Softkeys manage back and forth within the webview browser. I was quite happy when I figured this out...on my own, without assistance from the old lady.
Holler my way sometime. I've got some ideas that might benefit the both of us
