Dynamic data, a little confused

HI, I'm struggeling all day with some questions regarding dynamic data in my app. what is the best approach and are there some samples out there to accomplish this??? I can create (some) applications (php, jquery etc) that look wonderfull on the phone and point to them with a custom url. Question that rises is that when I do it to much/often in one iPhone app, Apple will probably reject my app because it's essentialy a webapp with buzztoch as a wrapper. Am I right in this???? Let's say I want to make a blog and have a mobile optimized (blog)application on my server and I point to this with a custom url: will Apple accept this or should I add some more native actions (maps, etc) to get it approved. next question that rises: Is there a difference (in the eyes of Apple) in using an external url, external html, custom html? The problem is that you can't make a custom html dynamic (new content from an external source). I hope my story / questions makes sense and someone can help me out on this. I just want to have control on the UI and next to this have it's content added dynamcly (from whatever source). I'd love to see some examples too, if available somewhere. Best Regards, Danny

Apple does not like wrapper (or what I call them, shell apps) apps. I have been rejected multiple times for only having custom URL's, but after adding more functionality (like quizes, settings, even share options) I've gotten ALL of my rejected applications approved. It's best to add these features when submitting to avoid rejection (so as you have speculated). next question: Theres not much difference to apple with custom html, url, ect, they only see two sections: 1. IS IT THE APP and 2. IS IT THE INTERNET. So, local content (the app) and external content (the web) - make sure you have LOCAL content in all of your apps (even if its based on external content). as for examples, most buzztouch applications are wrapper/shell based, just check buzztouch's facebook page for examples :) Take care, David.
