Is HTML5 a good choice for mobile application development?

Survey period: 10 Dec 2012 to 17 Dec 2012

Avoiding the topic of non-mobile development, does it make sense for ua to move to HTML5 as a write-once-run-anywhere platform for mobile devices? (I'll use "HTML5 platform" to mean HTML5, CSS3, Javascript and whatever interpreters/compilers are needed)

There's no absolute truth... specially not on IT.
So depending on what you want to do, HTML5 may or may not be the best choice for you.

There are already a lot of resources out there that compare the available options so just be sure to evaluate them all before deciding on the one that apparently looks like the easiest way.

Cheers!
