Android - Configuring Android Web Applications

iPhone web apps have four configuration features available (not including the HTML5 application cache) to configure how web pages behave when you save the web page to the home screen as a 
bookmark.
You can specify the home page icon.
You can specify a startup image that displays while the web page is loading.
You can hide the browser UI.
You can change the status bar color.

The four features work by adding tags to the <head> like this:<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/custom_icon.png"/>
<link rel="apple-touch-startup-image" href="/startup.png">
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" />
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style" content="black" />

Naturally, none of these "apple-" specific tags do anything in Android. But is there any way to do something equivalent? [At a minimum, I want users to be able to add my web page to their Android home screen (e.g. in Android 2.0) and have a pretty hi-res icon.]

IPhone :: Comparison between Corona, Phonegap, Titanium

I am a web developer and I want to move my web products to iPhone. One of the products is like Google Maps: show map on the phone screen, you can drag or resize the map and view some information that we add to the map.

I know there are some technologies that enables you to use HTML, CSS and Javascript to develop native iPhone apps. I've identified a few:

Ansca Mobile
PhoneGap
Appcelerator

Are there other, similar products? What are the differences between them? Which should I choose?
