After almost 11 hours
After being completely stuck a few hours ago, I’m now well on my way to finish a WORKING app, thanks to @Alin’s suggestion to use PhoneGap.
PhoneGap is a breath of fresh air and brings proper JavaScript coding into iPhone dev. PhoneGap is 100% an iPhone app which runs a web browser inside it and you build inside that. It works flawlessly and it even integrates with all the phone’s features.
I’ve also discovered Dashcode, an IDE/editor for developing Mac widgets and iPhone-ready apps. It generates standard html, css, js + images which I can copy over in Xcode, inside the PhoneGap project, and bam, proper iPhone app!
So, basically, I’ve dropped Objective-C and never want to look at it again
. And I’m still developing for the iPhone.
Yay I say!

also try http://www.jqtouch.com/ and http://code.google.com/p/iui/
(the first one is really helpful)
