2013 Support HTML5 mobile phone Ultra 1 billion official standards missing

On December 8, according to foreign media reports, a recent study by market research agency Strategy Analytics said the global market will have more than 1 billion handsets to support HTML5 technology by 2013. This figure was only 336 million in 2011. HTML5 the agency predicts that much of the growth will come mainly from North America, Europe and Asia. At the same time, the popularity of HTML5 technology will also be received from Apple, Adobe, Google and Microsoft and other developers of strong support. As a way to avoid confusion, strategy specifically points out that HTML5 mobile phones are those that can perfectly support all HTML5 functions, such as the iphone 4S. Neil Mawston, executive director of strategy, says HTML5 's native cross-platform capabilities are not going to be overlooked by all stakeholders in the handset industry. HTML5 supports running on multiple platforms, such as smartphones, feature phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, televisions, and even automobiles. Thomas Kang, of strategy, adds that the HTML5 technology is still not mature and the API interface is limited, compared with the native apps seen on Android or iOS today. Strategy is not the only one to predict the emergence of explosive growth in HTML5 mobile devices. Earlier this summer, ABI research also said it expects to have at least 2.1 billion mobile devices that support HTML5 technology by 2016. In 2010, there were only 109 million mobile devices supporting HTML5. While the consortium says HTML5 's official standards will be finalized by 2014, ABI expects that 25 of the features being developed and included in HTML5 technology will be widely supported and applied over the next few years. The areas covered by these features include graphics processing, data storage, multimedia playback, and user interaction. The ability to play video in HTML5 is now widely supported in the Mobile world. This is the main reason Adobe finally announced last month to stop developing and supporting mobile versions of Flash. The popularity of flash on mobile platforms is so low that Adobe eventually has to support the development of HTML5 technology. Whether the forecast will have over 1 billion HTML5 handsets by 2013 or a forecast of billions of HTML5 handsets by 2016, all indications are that the popularity of HTML5 is only just beginning in today's Internet. And today's Internet, for most people, has come to the stage of mobile-platform Internet, and all this has changed thanks to the way smartphones have achieved mass popularity in North America and Europe. But until HTML5 technology is applied to the fullPart of the functional mobile phone, most of the world's mobile users will be left behind. (Lu Xin)
