With technology giants such as Apple and Google pushing the community forward, HTML5 mobile development is quickly changing the face of the mobile market.

Coupled with the proliferation of WebKit-based browsers and the need for a cost-effective solution that supports cross-platform application development, many believe that HTML5 is shaping to be the standard development tool of the future.

Early adopters of HTML5 have been experiencing a wide variety of benefits, namely:

• A cleaner, more readable and consistent HTML code that is transferable across environments by default
• Application distribution channels that go beyond the different app stores and their time-consuming and limiting restrictions
• Use of advanced UI components such as data pickers, sliders, edit boxes that automatically support ellipsis and others
• Use of CSS3 styles and CSS3-based animation to reduce app size and improve its responsiveness
• Access to rich media types (audio and video) available before via native code only
• Support for geo-location services
• Offline storage capabilities
