Anyone knows the max size of Safari's 'Offline Application Cache' on the iPad & iPhone. Looks like it's 5MB. Is there any way to enlarge this size?

You can clear your iPad cache in your browser settings. Open your iPad's settings and tap Safari. Then, scroll down and tap Clear History and Website Data. And you're done — you've cleared your history and your cache and your iPad should run more smoothly.
You can give your device a little speed boost by clearing out the junk and memory-clogging files on your device. In this article we explain how to clean out the cache, which should get your iPhone or iPad running faster once more.
I have the same problem on iPhone. On iPad though I figured a turn around. If your manifest contains files less than 5MB the first time and you update the cache by window.applicationCache.update() and before doing the update you increase the manifest files to be below 10mb it will work. If you continue doing that (increasing the manifest by <5MB each time and then update()) you will see that the iPad can cache more than the 5MB limit.
It is so sad that Apple by not supporting Flash and MIDP but only HTML5 for web-apps screws so much on that.

If your application uses more than 5mb than iPhone/iPad will ask the user to allow the website to use more space.
