How to copy html files to ipad and then launch in a browser

Here's a crazy question...The client wants a web application to be available on the ipad when not connected to the internet. My first thought was that it would be a great opportunity to use the offline app feature of HTML5, except that the entire web app (including all the media) is 3GB, and apparently all of it must be available. This exceeds the 5MB limit of the app cache. The website does not necessarily have to rely on any dynamic server side code. It can be straight HTML files. Does anyone know if it would be possible to manually copy the entire website onto the ipad and from there easily launch it in a browser? I was not able to do this, but I have to believe there's a way. Any other approaches to this problem that you can think of? Thank you.
I had a similar problem and here's what I found that worked (using an iPad and a PC):
Download (on the PC) the program HTTrack to the PC. This program can create an offline mirror of a website and has all sorts of options for what gets included.
Run HTTrack on the PC and create a folder for your website.
Install (on the iPad) the free App "Documents 5" by Readdle.
Connect Documents 5 to some sort of cloud based storage (I used by Google drive account, but I'm sure Drop Box would work also)
Zip the entire offline website folder mirrored using HTTrack and upload the zip file to cloud storage (Google drive)
Click on the zip file in Documents 5. It should be downloaded to the iPad
Click on the downloaded zip file in Documents 5. It should be automatically extracted.
Now open the extracted folder and click on index.html. This is your website offline.
I don't know if there is a way to move the index link to the home screen...
There are several apps that can be used for storing files on the iPad and viewing them in an embedded browser. I use GoodReader, but this might be overkill for your purpose.
I've been able to view them using FileApp (after transferring via DropBox), but it's far less than ideal.
Use hightail.com, you can link a website as a space, it will actually convert the website to preview image, then can be access on iPad as webpage in browser, no need to copy file to iPad or install any software.

BlackBerry: is it possible to download application from a website (Over the Air) ?

I want would like to make my BlackBerry application available for download through a website using the BlackBerry browser. Is this possible?
There are two ways to allow your BlackBerry application to be downloaded from a website:
1.Over the Air distribution
To allow users to install the application over the air you will need to have a web server. On the web server you will need two files:
Yourapplication.cod
Yourapplication.jad
On your web server you will need to setup three MIME types:
.jad files: text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor
.cod files: application/vnd.rim.cod
.jar files (optional): application/java-archive
However, if the .cod file is larger than 64KB, it must be unzipped on the web server, otherwise you may get a "907 invalid cod HTTP error 404" error message. To do this, rename the .cod to .zip, then open the .zip file and place the file contents in the same folder on the web server alongside your .jad file. (See: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5788124/1943). Links to download your application should be to the .jad file.
2.Using the BlackBerry Application Web Loader
This is an ActiveX plugin that facilitates the download of the application. See the developer documentation for more information on this.
