Exciting findings confirming that there is an increasing number of mobile developers targeting web apps. Also, in the latest Developer Economics Report, Vision Mobile published for the first time that HTML5 overtook iOS in App Developer mindshare (a regular second position in Europe and North America, with Android on top) in South Asia, South America and Middle East & Africa.
It is starting to takeover my mind too. My next app will be definitely in html5. There are many good articles and videos explaining how to manipulate the DOM efficiently (which is the main bottleneck of web apps I think).
