Just quoting a time is not much use to anyone, so I'll try to give info about the first app I made: Working full time with no prior experience in objective c or cocoa, it took me 3 weeks to build an app that is essentially a sign up form used at trade shows on an iPad. It stores all submissions in a sqlite database, and pushes them to a custom API. Also uses a postcode database to find the nearest center to the user's postcode. Having said all that, I too would recommend phone gap.
