Html5 won't support it</p> <p><strong>Camera usage</strong> - Native. Html5 won't support it</p> <p><strong>Using gestures</strong> - Native. Html5 can support it, but you'll have to use an external library</p> <p><strong>Multi-touch capabilities & gestures</strong> - I'd say native, for the ease of development</p> <p><strong>Developing 3D game (or) 2.5D with physics</strong> - Both, some great libraries are now available for both systems. However doing what you want in HTML5 is probably not easy at the moment.</p> <p>More generally, HTML5 gives you the possibility to write you code once for every system and then wonder if it'll work in the same way everywhere. Native apps require a specific development for each platform, with the costs and the problems of maintaining many softwares at different stages of maturity that it leads.</p> <p>However if you don't need specific features, go for HTML5. It's still a bit tedious to write code on it so far, but the quality and the amount of available libraries is increasing every day. Use <a href="http://coffeescript.org/">CoffeeScript</a>, it'll save you headaches.</p> <p>If your application is designed with <a href="http://designmodo.com/responsive-design-examples/">responsive design</a> in mind, you'll also be able to support computers, tablets and smartphones in one application. </p>
