HTML5 apps

,----[ Quote ]
| Right now nobodyâs interested in a mobile 
| solution that does not contain the words 
| âiPhoneâ and âappâ and that is not submitted 
| to a closed environment where it competes 
| with approximately 2,437 similar mobile 
| solutions.
| 
| Compared to the current crop of mobile 
| clients and developers, lemmings marching off 
| a cliff follow a solid, sensible strategy. 
| Startling them out of this obsession requires 
| nothing short of a new buzzword.
| 
| Therefore Iâd like to re-brand standards-
| based mobile websites and applications, 
| definitely including W3C Widgets, as âHTML5 
| apps.â People outside our little technical 
| circle are already aware of the existence of 
| HTML5, and I donât think it needs much of an 
| effort to elevate it to full buzzwordiness.

The Horse Race For Video in HTML5 Continues

,----[ Quote ]
| Another chapter in the "what will HTML5
| support" soap opera opened last week with
| rumors that Google will open source the VP8
| video codec. Many outlets were reporting that
| VP8 is the video codec that runs YouTube. But
| that is not true. VP8 is actually the code
| behind On2 Technologies, another web video
| play which Google acquired just a few months
| ago. The story goes that Google will support
| VP8 in You Tube as soon as the open source
| announcement is made. This would make it an
| instant standard.
|
| First of all, it seems that everyone has
| already concluded that HTML5 will indeed be
| the savior of web video. I am not sure web
| video needs a savior. Steve Job is perhaps
| looking for a savior from Flash and the
| millions of iPhone users and now hundreds of
| thousands of iPad users sure would like to
| view the web with video. I don't think Adobe
| thinks that video support in HTML5 is that
| important.

What will the browser look like in five years?

,----[ Quote ]
| The web browser was just another application
| five years ago. A useful app, no doubt, but it
| played second fiddle to operating systems and
| productivity software.
|
| That's no longer the case. Browsers have
| matured into multi-purpose tools that connect
| to the Internet (of course) and also grant
| access to a host of powerful online
| applications and services. Shut off your web
| connection for a few minutes and you'll
| quickly understand the browser's impact.
|
| I got in touch with Charles McCathieNevile,
| Opera chief standards officer and a speaker at
| the upcoming Web 2.0 Expo, to discuss the the
| current role of web browsers and their near-
| term future. He shares his predictions in the
| following Q&A.

Brightcove Embraces HTML5, Passes On Theora Support

,----[ Quote ]
| In my opinion, Brightcove, like most of the
| others that are announcing support for
| HTML5, is not acting as a friend to the
| Open Source movement by going with H.264
| encoding and not adding support for Theora.
