How can I access iPhone or Android cameras using HTML5?

I am trying to create a web application that will be created in HTML5 for an iPhone or Android browser. How can I access the camera on both instances so that I can capture the image and upload it to a web application?

I do not think that's possible. At least in the current state, HTML5 cannot access the camera (or other peripherals). An alternative would be to create a PhoneGap application where you can develop an application in HTML5 (which will be included in your own application), with additional libraries (JS) that will allow you to access them.
