Look at jquerymobile.com if you are looking for a browser solution. JQM is in alpha 4 but should be in beta in a few weeks. Will run on most modern browsers. There is supposed to be a way to use it disconnected from the network but I have not seen that yet.

>I agree; but all I could find was an alpha from a few years ago that targeted the NDK. I don't see anything on the Lua forum either; nor on the Corona SDK forums.

>>Thanks for that tech info. But they are bridging LUA with native controls somehow otherwise the Lua Android apps would be pretty limited, which they apparently are not. Correct??
>>>The value of Lua (and PyPy, the Python equivalent in terms of JIT, Sandbox, etc.) is the ability to ship an interpreter and JIT that then can interact with native controls. There's still the bridge that's needed: for Lua, the iOS framework to Lua is provide in Wax: here's a blog article on Wax with a working example. http://od-eon.com/blogs/tudor/lua-vs-obj-c/
