Download any of the ClearChannel apps besides Iheartradio (Coast to Coast AM, AT40, etc). These use an embedded safari view to display some content, and Rss to feed other pages in a native environment. See if you can tell the difference. EDIT: just to clarify, the pages in the app served using the Safari view are served from our web servers.

Yes, this is the method that Bank of America used to create its Android app until a few months ago.
