It's a hybrid app, views written in HTML5 & CSS3, and wrapped on the device. Navigation is native.

Chances are that in a year or so, they'll release a completely native app. That seems to be the trend now - go HTML5 initially to get an app out fast, then create a native app later.

I assume he is referring to Basecamp Classic Mobile [1]. Reading the post, it seems they thought HTML5 was the "way to go" because they had more experience with the technology, not for any particular technological reasons.
