Something that is not clear to me is how the iPhone native testing would happen. Is selenium webdriver also capable of driving an iOS native app?

I think the answer's a clear no, and he just skirts around that issue. OTOH, I could see setting something up on the simulator and testing using a desktop testing framework.

ovi256 there are lots of options for testing native iPhone/iPad apps on both the simulator and actual device

You can, using Frank. https://github.com/moredip/Frank

It uses cucumber to drive the tests. It's still kind off experimental, but it's starting to become pretty good.

another option is Kif (https://github.com/square/kif) an iOS integration/UI testing tool developed by Square.

we've had some good experiences thus far testing some of our newer iOS projects with Kif

For web testing, I highly recommend watir. Selenium couldn't handle modal dialogs well enough for me and watij kept crashing. Watir's been able to handle anything I've thrown at it so far.
