The base browser can be manually updated by installing this, but obviously you cannot rely on it, unless your website is running in a fully controlled environment.

http://caniuse.com/ can help too, although it is not a substitute for testing on the actual devices.

There's a dozens competing standards (heh) in the IoT world, and it's entirely justified because nobody knows what a matured universal API should even look like.

As sudonim87 already said you should start with Phonegap. Ionic (http://ionicframework.com/) is great as far as I had to work with it and what you're planning to create. They offer a very nice and easy to lern 'getting started' guide. Have fun with it :-) !
