Where will HTML5 be this time next year?
With the W3C targeting to release their HTML5 recommendations in 2014, we are a few years away from consistent support across mobile browsers and OS’s. However, I would like to know where you think HTML5 will be this time next year.

I think HTML5 adoption will only keep increasing as time goes on. I think we will see a lot more mobile apps in HTML5 since you know the target audience is for smart phone users, which you can assume will have a certain level of support for HTML5. Whereas on the desktop, the browser segmentation is still very fragmented (with a lot of users still using IE6-8 sadly). Fortunately, IE's market share has steadily been on the decline.
As a sidenote, I wish all browsers (and other applications to an extent) had the same "upgrade" process as Chrome. It's so painless and transparent; no need to download a new install file and run it everytime you want need to upgrade, which makes sense in my opinion for browsers these days.
