October 25, 2011—Mobile web apps are mostly defined by their “if onlys” — if only they had the feel of native apps, if only they could fully interact with devices, etc. James Pearce, (@jamespearce), senior director of developer relations at Sencha, has a more optimistic take on mobile web apps. In the following interview, Pearce discusses promising web app technologies, and he explains why device APIs could make the web a lot more interesting.

October 25, 2011—Content providers are the clearest winners from the widespread adoption of HTML5. Instead of having to develop dedicated applications for each mobile platform, to give their customers a compelling experience, they will be able to offer a singel, HTML5-based offering that will run across desktops and mobile devices — greatly reducing their development costs. DirecTV has launched an HTML5 interface using cross-platform HTML5 framework Sencha, for example. Comedy news site The Onion was able to develop its tablet front end in only 6 weeks by relying on HTML5.
