Conclusion
1. It is dependent
on applications to be developed. If it does not require highly responsive and
faster response (utilize the phone CPU and RAM capability), then Hybrid App or
Mobile Web is proposed.
2. If it is
network dependent, of which data need to be transmitted from the phone, Hybrid
App or Native App is proposed.
3. Hybrid App can
be compile using PhoneGap or Appcelerator Titanium.
