Why HTML5
By Frank
Steve Jobs laid out why open standards (i.e. HTML5) are the future – particularly on mobile devices.
Summary
HTML5 is open, reliable, secure, great performance, usable (i.e. touch interfaces), and has a great user experience (at least on Apple products via the adoption of advanced platform features).
Better for Developers
One important point that can be elaborated on: there are a ton of developers that know HTML and Javascript versus Flash Actionscript (if anyone has any estimated numbers here, please share them in the comments).
Advancing Web Apps
This creates an environment where innovation and advanced applications can flourish in development communities around the world.
