Currently to use PhoneGap you do have to get the app on app store and the URL for the initial page is hard coded in the app. it is nice though since you get a headless browser with no address bar etc. you could make your own web browser based on it that exposed the apis to all web pages.

Such a browser was tried, and rejected. It violates Apple's "policy" on duplicating built in functionality.

I read on the project's mailing list that an application that embedded the browser was accepted:
