1. Chorme and Droids opening up the floodgate of amazing possibilities that will
capture the imagination of the Netizens !
Welcome to a new World free from 'Desktop Vendor Lock-In' and 'Internet
Monopoly' !
I can't help echoe the following excerpt from Google IO ... "No longer a nightmare
of a draconian future .. of a single vendor single product .. a future without
choice ! "
A new Revolution had already begun when Web started being treated as Platofrm by
Facebook, Zoho , Netflix, Google, LinkedIn, SaleForce, Tumblr, Jigsaw, Scribd and
many more who joinined the forces in recent time !
And now today Browsers empowerd with HTML5 are helping Web apps become as
powerful as Desktop applications !
Essentially its a giant leap forward by Google and likeminded benedictors towards
the efforts of creating powerful Browsers to free the Earth from the bondage of
Desktop OS !
Thanks to HTML5 Server Sent messages for performing this magic of representing
Rich Media / High-Perfornace Graphics / Desktop Content / Complex Netwroking /
Offline storage etc.
HTML5 - Web GL is the technology behind rendering GPS on mobile and computer
browsers.
Internet at a growth rate of 120% .. has definitely outperformed and outpaced other
networking mediums - tv/radio/magazine/newspaper.
HTML5- Workers allow web apps to access and leverage the power of multi-core
CPUs boosting the Rich-UI experience to a great extent.
As per the Google Prediction, by the end of 2010, the HTML 5 features like - Web
Video / Canvas / SVG / AppCache / Web Storage / Web Sockets / Geo Locations
.. will be supported by all major browsers (Opera, Chrome, Safary, FireFox) ..
except ... guess what !.. Yes .. IE .. which will support
only Video / SVG and Web Storage falling behind all other 4 browsers !!
So there will be a surge in statrt-ups and new initiatives for developing innovative
products on these open standrds !
Say, DarkRoom (from MugTug) allows editing photos and applying amzing affects
Online .. and pretty fast ! It makes best of 'AppCache' for creating GUI on Web. Even

2. browsers will support creating GUI using local storage in offline mode and then
simply synching up once user goes online.
So no need to install a 'Photo Editor' on desktop, then download photos locally, apply
effect and upload on web and sync back n forth !!
Great Huh !
Gmail and many other mail clients had adopted the HTML 5 File API and
Notification API for
Drag-n-Drop of any attachment on the mail.
The beauty is - if the proper chrome extension is installed, then while surfing net,
users will automcatically get notifcation about gmails even without leaving current
page and without starting local mail client!
Clicker.TV is a great implementor of 'Worker' for pulling a huge amount of TV and
Media live streaming and then caching. Its a huge leap forward !
Open Video Codec (VP8) offering super quality video streaming through Chrome
and Youtube by taking advanges of multiple cores and open standrds of DSP.
Google TV will certainly revolutinize the concpet of 'Telecast over Net'
How about Animation using CSS and Javascript using html5.
Tooling around CSS and fast network roundtrips (all HTML5 blessings) will open up
new possibilities in the Multi-player Online Gaming World !
Imgaine running any 3d Game written using native Client into the browser !
Mashing Up service and online apps will also become easier.
TwitDeck is a great example.
Here one can move the twit widgets and instanly comes to know from where 'certain
apps' are coming from. Twit notifications are constantly monitord and pushed from
server and corresponding Geo Locations are queried upon to present all the relevant
information to the users.
The big question is once a Magazine is actually represneted as a Magazine in a
browser and not as a mere Webpage , then do we really need to invest in iPad or
Kindle !
Thats the power of openness !

3. Thats what Chrome is about to do .. just stay tuned to Google Technologies .... its
going to Recrate the same Immersive Experience that you enjoy while reading a
newspaper or magazine !
Imagine how dramatically it will increase the reachability of popular media brands
and skyrocket its revenue !
HTML 5 will simply metamorphize business models !
Now there is great gift from Google for the Apps Developers !
Using HTML 5 google provides Infrasturces as Services on demand and
Virtualize existing complex apps through its collboration with VMWare Cloud and
SpringSource.
Few commands in Spring Roo Shell will – create a Spring Project, do the Persistence
Setup, Create Entities, Services, provide GWT artifcats, package, update GWT .. in
couple of minutes (for a small demo app) and Google App Engine Plugins (assuming
user installed SpringSource tool Suite) upload the app in cloud .. also immediately
use Spring Insights and Cloud Monitors to provide performance stats !
Lets all enjoy the freedom of choice and openness offered by HTML5.
