With cool stuff like this, it makes me wonder about the future of installed apps.
If only Android would support 'installation' of HTML5 apps so there is no browser, shortcut made automatically, ability to 'uninstall'. Easy to do but would compete with their store and they lose control.

Also, the fact that the underlying Chrome engine for WebViews can now update independently of the Android OS bodes well for the viability of HTML5 apps: http://developer.telerik.com/featured/android-5-0s-auto-updating-webview-means-mobile-apps/ http://developer.telerik.com/featured/android-5-0s-auto-upda...
