    How can I display a native iOS/Android UI control/element in an HTML5 app?

    You can’t. The quote you highlighted says “we’ve interspersed HTML5 in the native app”, not “we’ve interspersed native controls in the HTML5 app”. Read it again.

    How can we display a scrolling infinite list in PhoneGap?

    PhoneGap just adds device APIs to a webview. It doesn’t generate native controls, so you can’t, not without extending PhoneGap.
