I'd say - build an HTML5 app, but add native wrappers (just Webkit) so you can push it to App Store or Android Store. That's what I'm doing now (after a couple of native apps).

on iPhone webapps are still not as good as native ones - you can't put them on App Store (a large audience) and they don't handle multitasking well.

Assuming your app can be done in HTML5.. if it's a game or it requires a lot of integration with platform then native is the way to go (duh)




Sure, cycle intensive use cases will probably use native code for a long time to come.

The idea of adding native wrappers around a pure HTML/JS implementation sounds very interesting - like having your cake and eating it....
