All that to say, what direction do you see the mobile market going in the near-to-mid future?
I think we'll see a convergence of the web, mobile, and tablet spaces. Mobile is largely OS-specific at this point, but we are seeing a trend toward HTML5 apps. Same with tablets, where HTML5 was already popular, given the large screens and the fact that there were fewer OS-specific apps than with mobile. And with the web, the newest generation of HTML5-compatible browsers just launched, with FireFox 4 and IE9 joining WebKit. To design a new app today, particularly with audio and video, your best bet would be to go with HTML5 so you could kill 3 birds with one stone...you can reach the web, mobile, and tablets, without having to reinvent the wheel on both iOS and Android.
