"All this appears to be just as Apple intended: Steve Jobs'
campaign to rid the world of Flash is succeeding. The Web is
getting better apps and the Web-browsing experience on Apple's
mobile devices is getting better.
"But this could be bad news for Apple's lucrative App Store
business. While Apple takes a 30 percent cut of all app sales
through its store (still the only way for consumers to get apps),
Apple gets 0 percent of 'Web apps' loaded up through the browser.
The better HTML5 gets, the less developers will write apps, less
money Apple will make, and the less unique the iPhone and iPad will
be."
