I want to develop a HTML5 Web App. I read that in HTML5, you can use the new feature "Offline Web Applications" With the *.manifest file
I read an article from november 2010, that this feature only works on the iOS platform.
Does it work on Android now?

The Application Cache (or AppCache) allows a developer to specify which files the browser should cache and make available to offline users. Your app will load and work correctly, even if the user presses the refresh button while they're offline.
Of course, you can't. But you can download when you're online. And that's how HTML5 offline applications work. At its simplest, an offline web application is a list of URL s — HTML , CSS , JavaScript, images, or any other kind of resource.
Yes. It works on Android as well as iOS and most desktop browsers. You don't need PhoneGap unless you want to access native features or deploy to the App store.
UPDATE:
Check out this chapter from Jonathan Stark's book: Building Android Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
