I don't buy this. Apple was pushing HTML5 as an alternative to flash. Definitely true. Apple has no preference for HTML5 as an alternative to native iOS. Native is simply faster, and better on iOS, and as long as Apple continues to have dedicated teams whose entire purpose is improving native iOS (and as long as they continue advancing the hardware), it's tough to believe why HTML5 will ever catch up. If you believe native iOS encourages lock-in (As in, Apple doesnt make tons of money from apps, relative to hardware, but the apps make the hardware more compelling to consumers), then strategically, backing a technology that does not encourage lock-in, doesnt make that much sense. It seems to me that most of the people who believe that HTML5 is the wave of the future (particularly in gaming), dont actually make games (or make money from games). It will always be more profitable to make an awesome game in native, and monetize it on iOS first, than to make a less capable game in HTML5, and spread that around to every platform. Just my tuppence.
