Are they just wrapping web apps inside a WebKit window with a special javascript library?
It'd be interesting to see a bake-off between the OtherLanguage->iPhoneApp frameworks. The one by 380 North looks particularly interesting, though I'm not quite sure why you'd ditch Objective-C for a language that looks almost exactly like it (until they build in converters for other platforms..)

I'd be curious to hear what they're doing too.
It's doubtful you'll see Hecl for the iphone, as I'm not interested in platforms that are that restricted, don't allow interpreters, and in any case, it's based on Java. It does, however, run on all the zillions of J2ME phones that are out there, even if they're not the 'latest and greatest' thing.
