The iPod is supposed to be able to install a self-contained webapp. However, both going to the gallery and pressing the "home" link brings you to a browser window -- slowing down performance.
I somewhat identified the problem. I also made a fix to it that is currently live on the webserver but I created a branch to test it beforehand. The webapp works on my iPod. Test it out then you can close this :)
