Obviously at this point it is best used for applications that essentially provide a mobile interface to a web application that utilizes some of the advancements in UI design gained from the iPhone and Android generation of smartphones. Eventually I see the full gamut of APIs for things like camera, notifications, Geo tracking, etc. It will get more responsive too as people learn to use local storage to cache the app.
- clojurerocks 16y agoWell this is why people look at frameworks such as phonegap and appcelarator and rhomobile. They theretically give you the best of both worlds. Theres issues with them though including a lack of documentation for each of them. But as you say if you dont need to access the underlying hardware then theres almost no reason to not use html5.
