I think there are a lot of potential advantages-moving away from Flash is one.
Having apps that can run cross-platform easily is another.
But there are some issues for developers to be aware of-Matt Gemmel has a nice article that addresses some of them:

Each project must weigh up the relative merits of native and web apps for itself, but the inescapable fact is that when deploying on the web, from the user’s perspective, you’re probably starting with a disadvantage. There’s cognitive load associated with your app being a bookmark instead of an experience, and there’s an implicit trivialisation which occurs in the user’s mind. It’s unfair, but it’s a reality.
