It is possible, since PhoneGap is nothing special, just a glorified UIWebView. However, GUI won’t execute/update in the background. Also, the “convenience” depends on what you are trying to accomplish with your application. If you need VoIP, geoloation or features like that, you have to take advantage of backgrounding. However, you will still need to implement those services yourself (as far as I know, PhoneGap doesn’t support them natively).
