About HTML5 offline storage & cache for iPad app

Why HTML5 rocks now ? If just use one word to answer, I think probably it will be "cross-platform".

You can build products using HTML5 one time , distribute for different platform such as Web and iPad etc.

But after some research, I found that several problems with HTML5 family tech

  • Not robust : there are a lot of randomness , and not easy to control
  • Storgage limited : even no clear answer for max size (?) , and sure there are limitation of storage
  • Not best user interaction : compared with native iOS app

Any other problems you think ?

And if you are HTML5 guru,maybe you will correct some wrong understanding of mine.

The biggest problem for me is that right now HTML5 is not a standard. It's not even a complete specification.

But this has always been the problem with building web applications; everyone implements them to different degrees of completeness, and you have to be constantly vigilant of implementation variations.

If I end up having to maintain multiple versions of the same code for each browser anyway, I start to question whether the "it works everywhere" argument is even sound anymore.
