Objective-C vs PhoneGap/HTML5

Overall Guidance:
1.  To develop a mobile application, there are many ways. You can use Objective-C, or PhoneGap/HTML5.

Objective-C:
Benefits:
1.  Can use native features from IPhone, have more native features.
2.  Have better performance.

Drawbacks:
1.  Don't support Android, and browsers


PhoneGap/HTML5:
Benefits:
1.  Develop once, you can run it in browser, Mobile browser, Native app in IPhone/Android,etc.
2.  Code lots of CSS to develop look and feel like native app.

Drawbacks:
1.  Have few months old and 1 year old technology and features. It may be a little of out-of-dated. Depending on the features.
2.

Recommendations:
1.  If you use cutting-edge technology, you shall use Objective-C. If you just translate a web application to mobile application, you can use PhoneGap/HTML5.
