Question

To make a phone call via HTML on an iPhone I create an <A/> tag with an href formatted as: <a href='tel:[phone]'>Dial Me</a>.

Is there an equivelant for HTML on Android?

CLARIFICATION – using the format href=’tele:123-555-1212′ does indeed work on on android. I was testing the app within a native Java wrapper on the device. It does not appear as if we can make a call from a web application hosted in a Native Wrapper.

Yes you can; it works on Android too:

tel: phone_number
Calls the entered
phone number. Valid telephone numbers
as defined in the IETF RFC 3966 are
accepted. Valid examples include the
following:

* tel:[phone]
* tel: [phone]

The Android browser uses the Phone app to handle the “tel” scheme, as defined by RFC 3966.
Clicking a link like:

<a href="tel:[phone]">2125551212</a>

on Android will bring up the Phone app and pre-enter the digits for 2125551212 without autodialing.

Have a look to RFC3966
