I've recently discovered node-webkit (https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit) which I've been liking a lot. It's more or less chrome, packaged as a one-off app, that only runs the code you give it. Converting the app (web/browser extension) I'm working on to use it has so far been extremely favorable. On top of this, it embeds node.js in the browser runtime. So not only do you get all of chromium's HTML5 features, but you get a whole hell of a lot of native libraries for free via node.js. It also has a good amount of UI helpers built in so you can keep the OS-specific code to a minimum. This lets you hit both web and desktop (Windows, Linux, Mac) with a very similar/same codebase. Then all that's left is mobile =]. Worth checking out.
