There's a small point to make here that many iOS apps that use WebViews just do the easy thing and load the content over the Internet, rather than storing it on the phone and fetching updates in the background. This makes sense for dynamic content that requires an Internet connection, but if you want to be able to push changes to the entire UI of your app and have it work offline, you need to do the more complicated thing and figure out how to serve the files from app storage into a WebView.

Meteor isn't the first to do this by any means, but it sure makes it easy!
