I heard about PhoneGap which let's you develop Android and iPhone apps, and it compiles it from HTML/CSS/JS.

I have only one PC with Ubuntu installed, and I want to make a mobile App from HTML/CSS/JS code so it sounds perfect.

What I wonder about if it's also possible to compile the iPhone apps with it even if I don't have a Mac, and though this is not a legal forum, I know Apple have some harsh laws regarding that stuff.

It's probably possible for me to have access to an Apple computer for a couple of hours to register to Apple and upload the App.

But I don't have a Mac to do the development on.

So is this possible?
