This is a great discussion thread concerning native vs web apps for mobile computing. Regardless of your viewpoint, I think we all agree that business and technical requirements are most important in setting a native vs web app strategy.

I created a dynamic spreadsheet to help marketing and technical teams consider the options in the context of a given project – http://ipadcto.com/mobile-apps-native-or-web/

Why choose between native and web apps when you can easily have both?

WrapYourApp.com is a service that gives web apps a way to be sold in App Stores. It takes all the benefits of web apps (especially multi-platform) and adds many of the benefits of native apps (can be sold in App Stores, etc). All we need is the URL of the web app and we can put it in the iPhone App Store, Android Market, Palm Catalog (when it opens to general 3rd party apps) and desktop apps on Mac, Windows and Linux.

Prices start at $149.

Mobile web app authors maintain their own code and hosting – while being able to update their application without resubmitting the app to each store.

I think those are On-Device-Platform-Independent Apps. I think so every one will agree to that.
