another thing is that its running in a browser and not natively on the cpu. on the iPad for example this would mean that the performance is just as good as the browser handles the input. also steve jobs made this mistake of comparing flash to html5. flash would run natively on the cpu and not in a webview (thats what it is called on the iPhone OS) or browser.
this hype about html5 is just a hype and nothing more.

First of all Scribd’s HTML5 doesn’t work on all browsers and they still use Flash. Checked on my IPhone they have a special mobile version that didn’t serve HTML5, it was PDF or something. So this is a mix of a lot of techniques, and looking at the source code, it looks very confusing. So this doesn’t help regular people.
