No, you can't. However, if you're so inclined, you could make a web app that checks for the Android browser and only displays on the Andriod. That would make an internet connection required though.

I haven't used the Android myself, but maybe it has Gears support like Chrome does. If so, then you can integrate Gears into the app and have them download it onto their Android.
