#4If facebook's HTML5 fiasco is any lesson, I would rather go with Native.

#5A bit of both - we have an HTML 5 application used internally, and an iOS app we distribute to customers.
HTML 5 is a big win for letting us get new releases out fast, and not having to battle with native APIs that we don't usually, but native wins out if you need something polished.

#8We prefer native 99% of the time. Performance of HTML is easily outmatched by native on both iOS and Android, and the multi-platformness of HTML is usually limited if you want to adhere to UX guidelines and conventions that are platform specific.

#10We do Cordova/PhoneGap development - the best of both worlds. HTML 5 wrapped into a native iOS/Android app. We still use plugins with native code though (Java/ObjC), for receiving push notifications and accessing the camera.
