I don't think I understand this. A mobile application for Meego/Maemo or even Android running native code can do this probably thousands of time faster.

so technically, what is the reasoning behind html5? I read that page "whats next for meego", but I dont get it. Isn't html5 going to be a set of dlls? Or is something really changing in the linux kernel for html5 lol ... Isnt Qt just a set of dlls/libraries (sorry i'm a windows dev so i keep refering to them as dlls)? If we delete those libs, qt will stop working from n900/n9 right? Assuming that the current worldwide trend was html5 and we had it all running on n900/n9(50), and there was this new trend of Qt (assume apple liked it a lot), would we just throw away the whole friggin distro to make a new distro to make it qt compatible?

It just seems like some totally marketing decision which the higher technical people are now trying to justify, willingly or unwillingly. Poor souls.

What's next? For MeeGo? Are you kidding?

HTML5 doesn't use a virtual machine.

Native code is faster. The issue though is to create cross-platform applications. For that you need an agreed upon standard. It appears that HTML5 is now that standard.

HTML5 is meant to be backwards compatible with older versions of HTML. It has been around for a very long time.

Well... According to the W3C, HTML5 is still at "Working draft" stage (their lowest maturity level). Anyone attempting to build a platform on top of that does so at their own risk ;-)

HTML4 was never final. The only issue I can foresee is that people are overlooking the biggest question: What's the future of Maemo?

MeeGo is now Tizen. Maemo existed before MeeGo. It even exists on top of MeeGo basically - dumbing it way down, I know. But that's my question at least.

4.0 has been a W3C "Recommendation" (their 5th and last maturity level) since 1997!

I suspect it will be completely unrelated to anything Intel and the LF cook up.

When they say that HTML 4.01 Spec is "recommended" and not "final recommendation", I tend to state/believe that it is not final.

W3C Recommendation 24 December 1999
Doesn't mean I'm right, but HTML 4.01 has standing revisions after 1997.
