I'd like to start off by apologizing as I'm sure that every term I use in this post will be wrong. I'm just getting started with mobile app development.
I'm trying to create a simple app with a few bits of info for a local nonprofit. I'm thinking that something with a nice start page with 4 buttons that link to other pages (contact us, directions, hours, and events). The issue I'm running in to is that they want to have the events page update once a week or so. I thought that linking this page on the app to a webpage (of some kind) on their server would be the best and easiest way to do this. I've done a bit of research and so far it looks like you can do this by wrapping the webpage in xml but there's not really a lot of info that I could find about how to do this and then how to incorporate that page in to the app.
I was also thinking of using PhoneGab to create the app since it allows for the creation of cross platform apps from a single source.
If anyone knows of a way to do this or a better solution I would love any help at all.

The only problem with making a mobile website is that I would have never thought of such a simple solution. I know they wanted something other than just a mobile website but I doubt there's an issue with linking to a single webpage that is mobile friendly.
I also really like the rss feed idea so that people could see past events.
I will defiantly be taking the time to explore all of these solutions so thank you everyone for the ideas!
