PhoneGap has two methods of doing this. The easier one is PhoneGap Build. Use "Build Native App on the Run menu to upload your project to their site. In a few minutes, you can download app-store ready apps for Apple iOS, Google Android, Palm, Symbian, BlackBerry and more.

The more complex method is the PhoneGap SDK. You will need to download the full development SDK, install and configure, then compile on your own machine. This method is free, but can be time consuming and tricky to set up.
