Separate web apps for iPad?

I want to create a one-page web application that runs exclusively on the iPad, such as Gmail on iPad and iPad User Guide . Such an application should be executed using a framework that allows web pages to behave in the same way as native iPad applications (impulse scrolling, open-list panels, UIKit style interface), but fully implemented in HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript (with WebKit extensions and Safari, such as multi-touch events and gestures specific to iOS).

The only open source framework I have found that targets the iPad in this matter is Sencha Touch. Naturally, Google and Apple do not share the libraries they wrote (e.g. PastryKit, AdLib, etc.). Are there any others (Sencha Touch’s license for open-source is prohibited, and jQTouch is only for devices with a small screen, such as iPhone 4, not iPad)? How can I write scrolling scroll and split view panels like this? Any good resources / tutorials / books / links to these advanced topics?

For many reasons, people want to write web apps for the iPad that can compete with their family.
