web based native app

How does one create a native app (windows, mac, or linux) that has the similar characteristics of a web app? I'm looking at 'dynamic' updates every time the app is launched by getting the code to run elsewhere (similar to rich web apps with javascript). It must retain the native gui however, with the behaviors/conventions expected in the OS it is created for.

Because native apps can use most of the system hardware or software, you can just wrap the web app in something like phone gap and then the user wouldn't know the difference. We've made one for our website using jQuery mobile and Phonegap for Android and iPhone.

For more information on how to develop the solution I was talking about (this is what we use): http://www.kintek.com.au/web-design-blog/developing-for-the-iphone-and-ipad-by-runing-os-x-10-6-snow-leopard-on-a-pc/
