Now then, Morten, Alan, and I have been discussing Chrome Apps as a target compilation point for mobile apps. And Google recently announced that they're bringing Chrome Apps to Cordova (thanks Alan, for that heads up!). So, if you're looking for some really interesting possibilities, check out these links:

The next thing I've been planning to experiment with, by way of Meteor and mobile, is taking the /bundle/programs/client directory, after running the bundler, and adding a manifest.json, background.js, and window.html file. In theory, that directory is an ideal compilation point for hooking the Meteor toolchain to the Chrome App/Cordova toolchain. If that works, it might be worth modifying the Meteor bundler, and adding options for compiling mobile specific versions of Meteor apps. I dare say that there are lots of folks who would love the following options:
mrt bundle -mobile output.tar.gz
mrt bundle -ios output.tar.gz
mrt bundle -android output.tar.gz
mrt bundle -all output.tar.gz
