Having just spent the weekend doing an iOS app in PhoneGap and jQuery Mobile, I can say that PhoneGap can get you to the first 80% really fast and it can look/feel native, but the devil is in the details and the last 20% is going to take an extra 80% for sure.
Native vs HTML/PhoneGap is about tradeoffs. With a little bit more experience I'll be able to easily ship a working app in a weekend using PhoneGap, but there are plenty of use cases where native would be a much better way to go (games, photo filter apps, etc.)
It's not about what is better in all cases, it's about what is better for your project.
