Html5, because easier to prototype and iterate. Clearly native once you have the right idea and funding for it.

- rimantas 13y agoHow it is easier? At least on iOS you can prototype extremely quickly and almost without writing any code: drop your views on controllers, wire them up and there you have it.
- DougWebb 13y agoAn HTML5 app is a lot easier to make cross-platform than writing separate native apps for each platform. It depends on the type of app though; running inside a browser is definitely a step away from native APIs, even when you have pass-through access to them.
- rimantas 13y agoWait, we were talking about prototyping an reiterating, not cross platform development. And even for cross-platform I wouldn't be so sure about "a lot". You may get initial version faster, but all the tweaks and ironing of the cross-platform kinks can eat a lot of time and make a lot of hairs grey.
