I have a web-based mobile app written in jQuery Mobile, but would like to know if there's a way to add an icon to my BlackBerry home screen that points to the web location. Is there a way to do this programmatically using jQuery Mobile or PhoneGap? Since it's written in jQuery Mobile, would I even be able to use PhoneGap? I can't find anything on this on the web.

Joshua Rose, after doing some research myself you need to develop a simple app in Java whose sole goal when clicked is open the browser and go to the URL you have designated, here is an article: - How to Invoke the Browser.

Currently your app is web based. For making it a true app you need to port the application as a native application using jQuery mobile and phone gap. After that ist really simple to add an icon :)
