There's another, in my opinion more obvious, problem with his statement.
The rise of native apps and the app store model for mobile devices is new since four or five years ago. It reverses the trend of more and more client software moving the the Web. And native apps in practice deliver richer experiences for touch-based mobile devices than most HTML5 Web Apps.
It seems weird to me to completely ignore one of the biggest changes in client-side software development over the past 4 or 5 years.

- kenjackson 16y agoYes, thanks for that obvious problem. The expected retort then should be, "All that Render Script stuff we saw for HoneyComb is going to get cut right? HTML5 is all you need?"
