What is the best way to take a webprogram and make it into a mobile app without having to start from scratch? I've heard about using Adobe Air? What are the benefits and drawbacks of this and what else do you recommend?

My program uses Google maps api. To give you an idea of it, it has similar functionality to Groupon's map: Groupon Now!. Whats the easiest way to take something like Groupon Now! and make it an app?

    Hi, I am building a very simple Groupon Mobile Web Apps today using HTML5 & jQuery Mobile.

    It's half-baked but you can view it at New York Groupon Mobile Web App to see how it look right now.

    If you want to integrate with GPS + Google Map, you can use PhoneGap.

    Hope to see your mobile Groupon Apps too...

    It is only shows Groupon Deals in New York City.
