HTML5 is a standard for presenting content on the World Wide Web and will be the next major revision of the HTML standard.
The new standard incorporates features like video playback and advanced animation tools that previously have been dependent on third-party browser plug-ins - the most important being Adobe Flash.
Apple computer with its iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad are leading the charge away from using Flash entirely to bring you streaming audio and video, with timed playback and other neat features.
If you want to cater to this fast growing demographic (and you should), you need to begin making your content mobile friendly. Currently this market has over 150 million users and is growing at an astonishing 60 mIllion units a year.
If the majority of your site's visitors still use Internet Explorer 6, then you have no reason to rush. On the other hand, if your site is primarily for mobile browsers on iPhones and iPads, what are you waiting for? |
