^ LOL.. it was very obvious Adobe would make HTML5 tools.. Funny how Steve Jobs goes and highlights something obvious since he knows that no one at the time he made the statment could have made tools for HTML5 because it's unfinished spec. You are smoking some heavy shit if you think that AIR won't have significant presence on mobile, TVs, tablets etc..
Runtimes like Flash or Siliverlight even have access to direct APIs directly integrated within their workflows and code and significantly improve the speed of app development, not to mention same code base for use everywhere across desktop, mobile and web.
You do realize that even if you make HTML5 app today, you have to bend over to make it work the same on every mobile device as they all have slightly different ways of rendering and executing content..
AIR will be defacto standard again for app development across all platforms. Just watch.. within a year we will have millions and millions of Flash/Flex devs building apps the same way they've made Flash Player so popular.
HTML5 isn't going away.. and it's a great next step in HTML and Adobe should make tools for it but to say HTML5 will become standard for mobile apps is LOL.
