Cross-platform web development combining HTML5 and native capabilities

I am absolutely new to the mobile development and I am puzzled by the following question:
How can I write a cross-platform mobile application with UI on HTML5 (same for all platforms), most of logic in JavaScript and ajax, but keeping some of native capabilities like marketplace and a good offline storage?
Do "hybrid" applications provide what I need? Is it possible to get access from javascript code inside "web page" to the phone native resources?
Could someone suggest an entry point for such kind of work (framework/toolkit)?
There is some frameworks like Corona SDK or PhoneGap, which can help you to achieve this. Also take a look to this similar post. Another good comparison between such frameworks is available at Mashable

Web mapping and image gallery RIA application

I am going to create Web portal, which I would like to be some kind of illustrated guide of city. In brief, It would be a union of Web mapping application and image gallery application. User should be able to navigate on the map to find some interesting locations, then user may view images and read articles about these locations.
This application has two important requirements:
Has to be RIA / Single Page Application
Must support CMS approach, with separated Front-End and Back-Office sections.
I contemplate which technology and framework offers the easiest and most powerful tools to fulfill these requirements with the least of effort. Currently I am thinking about ASP.NET MVC and Google Web Toolkit. What is your opinion? What about other platforms? Or maybe there are existing systems, galleries or CMS platforms which suit to my demands?
Do you know any existing websites with similar architecture and functionalities?

Develop Xbox 360 Apps

I have been asked to develop an Xbox 360 app. Not a game but an application like Netflix, Youtube or Muzu... I find it realy hard to find any information on app development for the Xbox console. Can anybody give me some advice?
I know that the XDK allows game development in native C++ but is it suitable for creating apps as well? Is there any information on the submission process and policies for Xbox 360 apps?
I think you may need to ask the question, "What's the difference between a game and an application?" I'm sure you could use XNA to build an application as well thus develop your app in C#, using the libraries Microsoft provides. Good luck!
I am not sure if what you want is possible with XNA. If you are registered xbox developer, you should talk to your developer account manager.
I assume you may get detailed explanation from theese links

What's the term of manage and expost web applications like SharePoint

Ruffly Speaking, I want to know the name of the feature which Microsoft SharePoint provides that the ablility to manage many web applications and expose them as web parts.
I'll try to explane more, from wikipedia:
Microsoft SharePoint is a software platform provides collaboration, Web content management, documents management, enterprise search, Web 2.0 features, and many other features under a single platform.
What I understand from that that it's a collection of features provided in a single system, I would like to search about a software platform similar to SharePoint able to manage many web applications and expose them or provides them as web parts but I don't know the search keywords which I have to look for.
Look for the keyword “Portal”.

Which free blog provider would you recommend to a .NET developer?

I am a .NET developer, I am interested in writing about Silverlight, .NET and other stuff...
Which free blog provider would you recommend me?
http://www.dotnetblogengine.net/
dasBlog because developer inevitably will get involved with the internals of the blog engine. And because Computer Zen runs on it.
Umbraco + Umbraco Blog Package
Top notch CMS and a really easy to install and use blog package for it
I agree with mP's comment that it doesn't really matter which tech powers the internals of the blog, but having said that I'm guessing you want a blog that is running off of .NET.
Check this answer I posted for a similar question, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/646538/cms-for-a-personal-website-asp-net-c/649073#649073. It is the blogger.com service integrated into your own ASP.NET web site.
