Very speculative article. HTML5 is definitely becoming more capable, enough to rival some of the larger players. Still, a cross-platform toolkit doesn't deprecate dedicated frameworks. There's a reason why applications on my Macintosh are different than Windows, have the same overall theme, and are better integrated with the OS. It's the platform experience that makes a good user experience. Since cross-platform toolkits haven't had much luck historically, the only other benefit HTML5 has is its existence outside of App Stores-- which if you're in the minority of apps to be rejected is a boon, but does not do many favors to the thousands of developers making good money from their apps. HTML5 is not a platform. Facebook's project Spartan, for example, is a platform, and that might have some success rivaling iOS/Android/Kindle. But that's the difference.
