Can someone just clarify something for me...? Which browsers accept HTML5 at the moment? Surely its only for the most modern browsers?
I'm still having to create sites that will work in IE6/7 - so the thought of all the fancy things HTML5 can do are a little lost on me.
- most new browser supports html5 to some extent. use http://www.modernizr… so html5 elements play nice with older browsersdijitaq
- so its still a faff to implement anything cool that won't necessarily be viewable on older browsers...Not_Just_Another
- I'm all for progress, but since most clients will probably want their sites to function the same across all browsers, it seems jumping on the HTMLK5 bandwagon might be a tad premature?Not_Just_Another

Much like Flash, people are going to abuse it, make shitty sites, and then everyone will be all like, "HTML5 is crap," and, "HTML 5 sites aren't user friendly." etc, etc, etc...
It's just another tool. Hopefully people will use it wisely, but probably not.

and that's ironic because I can't share that video pretty anywhere else without Flash or using object embed code. That's what I was saying..
iFrame is useless when it won't work on 90% of commercial and various online social and premium sites. So I end up switching back like every single time.

"There's a reason why big video sites Vimeo, YouTube and others still have object tag for embed and sharing. iFrame just doesn't work and the proof is very simple. "
Actually YouTube switched to using iframes months ago. Object based embedding still works on sites like this, but try clicking embed...it gives you an iframe by default.

Don't believe the hype - its a sequel... As an equal

HYPE looks a lot like SENCHA animator, which has been around for a while but doesn't have all the buzz.

there is also one HUGE problem with HTML5/JS apps and stuff..
How will you share it? If anyone thinks that any social or commercial site will allow you to push iframes or execute JS code on their platforms/sites, you are batshit crazy.. not only it's a security risk but you can load whatever you want in those iframes.
So let's say you do make a banner with this tool. It's animated beautiful and all that jazz.. would definitely like to see how you will share that across the social sphere and how you can embed interactive content like Flash apps and widget and players into the Facebook streams and other places.
People don't want to believe it, but as much as propriatery is not great, the runtime aspect of Flash solves way too many problems to be replaced and there aren't real, tangible solutions to what it already does but in HTML5/JS.
A couple of things where i think it's just impossible to avoid:
1. Access to cameras, microphone, and basically hardware
2. Sharable and social. Flash offers full blown applications to be shareable anywhere on the web without breaking security and causing headaches.
3. Multi-bitrate video streaming, HTTP streaming, Peer-to-Peer video streaming, Flash Media Server various capabilities etc
and quite a few other things.
4, Not ot mention the full GPU acceleartion, new Stage Video, video with alphas, advanced audio support and manipulation, advanced bitmap data manipulation etc etc.There's a reason why big video sites Vimeo, YouTube and others still have object tag for embed and sharing. iFrame just doesn't work and the proof is very simple. Try embeding an iFrame sharable video from Vimeo on QBN in your post. But you can embed YouTube. You can have YouTube because it's' flash and won't give QBN the headaches of thinking whether or not someone will hack the site or find some exploit with iframe or what have you.
And in the world of social interaction on the web, sharing your shit and promoting stuff, this is just unacceptable.

At first I thought it was the popular flash framework by Branden Hall Hall and Joshua Davis:
they created the animation for Watson on Jeopardy with it:

You're totally right on this one Boz. It is pre-beta in a lot of ways and will be processor intensive as it is developed, just like Flash. The big difference is that it's not Flash, it's HTML5 and we don't even have to get into why that's significant.
I also agree that by the time these guys have an application that's actually worth using that Adobe will have their tools in place and adopted by developers. I can't wait to see how it pans out, and I wish them all the luck and hope they make a kick ass tool as well.
