Who Knew?“We support two platforms at Apple.. The first is HTML5, a fully-open, uncontrolled platform that is forged and defined by standards bodies. We fully support HTML5. Apple’s browsers are in the lead in terms of supporting the full HTML5 standard, and we are behind this 100%. It is fully open. The second platform we support is the App Store.”
- Steve Jobs in June 2010, as transcribed by gdgt. Given the poor reception to the Gmail iOS app, it’s now clear to everyone that HTML5 apps on Mobile Safari are not competitive with native iPhone apps when developers need to craft a quality experience. I don’t really understand what Apple is thinking. Are they begging for DOJ attention?
