You can, actually create installable web apps in iOS, using an html editing app like Koder, however do not expect to utilize hardware features like the camera or vibrator, since you are still a webpage running on a chrome less browser. Anyways good luck building web apps!

if u want short answer, it's "No"

long answers:

  1. there are some intresting apps on ipad2 for creating another app.... but only for play, totally not practical.
  2. if u have a PC(windows or linux), u can run VMvare, install OSX. then u can install Xcode, and develop ios app. Remember, Xcode is the key for apple platform developing.
  3. Buy a Mac, if u want develop app more than a try.

you can use third-party software, but in the end you always need to compile a XCode. Except if you use web solutions. Consider that still does not have the same user's native programming expirence.
