I've created an HTML5 website which when viewed on the Iphone, is able to mimic the look and feel of a native app. Is there anyway to create an Iphone app that can be submitted to the app store, where the only functionality is that it launches the site?

Basically, I need the end user to not be able to tell that they are working with a website instead of a native app.

I need to display different fields depending on where the customer is located. Usually I have the user select their country on the 1st page and then customize the second page based on this input, but I was wondering if there are other, more creative ways to accomplish the same thing.

I'm thinking about going with Ruby on Rails for an app I'm building and was wondering what people's experiences were as far as hosting. I don't have the money for dedicated servers so I'll be going with a shared plan.

Has anybody had any regrets after going this route?

I've read that Rails doesn't perform so well in these types of environments. Is it something to worry about when I'm still small or only if my app becomes very popular?

I saw HostingRails.com had a special offer for their Stacked plan. Has anybody used them and can provide feedback?
