I have been having numerous discussions about HTML5 with mobile experts these last few weeks, many of which I recorded on video, so stay tuned to my blog to watch them and learn how leading mobile vendors are incorporating HTML5 into their platforms and mobile apps.
One of my goals with publishing this HTML5 article series each week is to help companies, considering the use of HTML5, to understand the spectrum of use cases and the scope of its adoption by leading vendors. I hope you find these articles useful.
