Is there a (non hacking) way to set autocapitalize="on" (like iOS) in phonegap for Android?

If not, is there any way to "auto press" shift after the user focuses on a form field such as <input ... type="text">?

You can use a textarea width height: 22px (or more).

<textarea style="height: 22px" ...></textarea>

Discovered by accident, using ICS with cordova 1.9.0

via jQuery:

$('input[type="text"]').on('keypress', function() { 
    var $this = $(this), value = $this.val(); 
    if (value.length === 1) { 
      $this.val( value.charAt(0).toUpperCase() );
    }  
});

Just use css

input[type=text] {
    text-transform:uppercase;
}
