To write a native app or web app is a very important decision at the start of any mobile project. There's place for both. Native has some benefits that web app doesn't and vice verse.
But then there are the hybrid app frameworks. The idea of a hybrid app is to bring the strong points of each approach into one app. Probably the best known hybrid app frameworks are the PhoneGap and the Titanium Appcelerator. Both of these frameworks promise multi-platform in essence web apps packaged into a native app package although Appcelerator takes the packaging a step further by compiling some controls to platform native components.
