As I posted in the side note.. nobody said HTML5 will fail.. HTML5 is the next HTML. there's nothing to fail.. it's a standard.
The fact is. .HTML5 is overhyped.. and some facts have been greatly exaggerated to serve the purpose of one corporation and their tactics.. such as Apple..
HTML5 /JS applications are not faster than Flash.. in many tests and examples we have seen that's just not true.. The difference is even larger on Windows.
You can't do everything Flash does.. in fact, you can't do more then 20-30% of things Flash can do.. simple fact is that AS3 and Flash runtime offer so many things that are not even starting to get implemented in HTML5 or have been written in Javascript.. advanced audio and video controls, multiple bitrates, quite a few APIs that work with your hardware etc etc..
All it was said, which is wiser to do is to say that HTML5 offers some long awaited features that will make HTML/JS/CSS developers life easier and it will offer more flexibility in functionality and web application development and universal video and audio support.
It's a more realistic comment and still something to be considerably excited about. But when you go and start drumming to the Steve Jobs garbage that has no connection with reality and start defending and putting some absurd statements that Flash needs to die for HTML5 to live and how much HTML5 is better than Flash..then you can expect 90% of the web and gazillions of Flash developers to not take it likely. Especially because it's not true.
- Exactly: There's nothing to fail.. it's a standard. Couldn't have said it better.ukit
