When to use HTML5 in android? when don't use?

What are the situations a developer need to use HTML5 in android.

I am bit confused about when to use HTML5 in android. I need to develop an application like a report viewer from web server. In this case i also need to use some Android specific features like service, preferences, receivers, charts (with the help of third party library).

Android is to date the platform with many variants of using different browsers: WebKit-based Android browser, Opera Mini, Opera Mobile, Firefox, UCWeb, Google Chrome Android browser.

The default Android browser has some problems with HTML5. And the Chrome for Android is designed to solve it. It has almost perfectly latest HTML5 support: such as new elements, video –H.264 and WebM support- and audio tags, geolocation, hardware accelerated canvas (2D drawing), and all the CSS3 stuff, such as selectors, effects, media queries, transforms, transitions and animations, ect.

But while it's still not very popular because this new browser isn't available yet for Android 2.x and 3.x version, just for 4.x.
