You don't need to get approved by Apple if you're making web apps. Of
course, you won't be listed in the App Store, but as a silver lining
anyone with a browser and an internet connection will be able to use
your app.

I wonder how many App Store "native" apps are really HTML+JS "web"
apps and use Objective-C to display a WebKit view of local files? Like
Dashboard widgets, but for the phone. I know there is at least one
framework that makes this easy to do.
