Ten things you should know about HTML5, July 2010

Gerry Samuels, Founder and Executive Director of Mobile Travel Technologies contributed a quick guide to HTML5 to Tnooz.com.

Here is an excerpt from the article:

1. HTML is a standard for structuring and presenting content on the web.  HTML5 is being developed by World Wide Web Consortium (WC3), the main international standards organization for the web and is the next major revision of the HTML standard.

2. HTML5 offers some fantastic opportunities for mobile web applications; in fact right now HTML5 is more widely deployed on the mobile web than it is on the PC web.

3. Instead of writing separate applications for each mobile device developers can deploy the same code base on all HTML5-ready phones and devices.

4. Apps are increasingly popular but not everyone wants to install an on-device app. HTML5 provides a true iPhone and Android App experience via the mobile web browser.

5. MTT has developed the first airline HTML5 app for S7 Airlines.  The App is available as a downloadable iPhone App or an HTML5 App by simply accessing s7.ru from your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad.
