Native is faster but I think the browser will eventually catch-up enough that the difference would be negligible. There are also a lot of advantages to having at least web development done in the browser. I am the founder of Crudzilla Software (crudzilla.com), a browser based web app platform. I can tell you that there's a lot that our product is able to do because it is built in the browser that would be very difficult to accomplish in a native product. As far as issues of network connectivity, I think that's a legitimate concern but increasingly network connectivity is not an issue for most situations.
