Answer 1

I guess the application works as follows,

1) It just creating a html for each contact

2) It using the safari functionality "Add to home screen"

Found an excellent answer for simulating the safari functionality,

I created an link from Safari using the "Add To Home Screen" button. It created a directory called 54C86B09482D4560BAB46091CC75825A.webclip inside of /private/var/mobile/Library/WebClips/. That directory contains two files, icon.png and Info.plist. icon.png is simply the icon that gets shown when looking at the apps screen. The contents of Info.plist are where the real information is:

        ClassicMode
        
        FullScreen
        
        IconIsPrecomposed
        
        IconIsScreenShotBased
        
        Scale
        0.32653060555458069
        ScrollPoint
        
                x
                0.0
                y
                -183
        
        Title
        The Daily WTF
        UIStatusBarStyle
        UIStatusBarStyleGray
        URL
        http://thedailywtf.com/

So, to test this out I created a new folder called C28C8FDC2F184AAD84F77B511442548F.webclip and copied the Info.plist file over from the other directory, edited the url to http://google.com. I then re-sprung the phone and it showed up just like any other webclip. The folder name is simply a hex encoded GUID, I used http://www.somacon.com/p113.php and just selected what was after 0x for this simple test
